CAIRO, 8 March, 2021 (TON): Egypt has not discussed the maritime border issue with Turkey; Egyptian diplomatic sources denied the rumors.
The sources said Cairo does not intend to negotiate with Turkey. Egypt is committed to Cyprus and Greece being part of any negotiations, they added.
Turkish claims that a resolution is close to being reached are false, the sources said.
“The Egyptian side is sticking to its position rejecting the maritime agreement signed between the Libyan Government of National Accord and Ankara,” they said.
“Egypt’s respect for the maritime borders of the Mediterranean countries is not new and Turkey’s attempts to claim that the two countries have negotiated are incorrect.”
The comments followed as Turkey claimed to finalize an agreement with Egypt in line with the maritime authority agreement.
