Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that in case Greece and Turkey cannot solve their dispute about maritime zones in the Mediterranean, they should address the disagreement at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague.
This came after Turkey signed an agreement with Libya’s internationally recognized government, aiming to establish an exclusive economic zone from Turkey’s southern Mediterranean shore to Libya’s northeast coast.

This agreement finds Greece and Cyprus opposing to it, claiming that it is void and breaches the international law of the sea. They added that it is a move that seeks to destabilize rivals.
Under this light, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, told local media that he intends to Turkey to discuss with Turkey about their differences regarding the maritime zones in the Aegean and east Mediterranean on a political and diplomatic level.
