Intel: Amid maritime deal with Egypt, Greece invites UN court to settle sea dispute with Turkey
Greek Prime Minister suggests that if no agreement can be reached, his country's dispute with Turkey over a maritime boundary should go to an international court.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said this week that he would welcome international court intervention to settle a maritime boundary dispute if his country and Turkey remain deadlocked.
His comment at a security forum Wednesday was followed by a deal between Egypt and Greece on Thursday that designates an exclusive economic zone in the eastern Mediterranean. The zone contains important oil and gas reserves, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said.
