Turkish Grand National Assembly Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş welcomed the Libyan House of Representatives’ approval of a memorandum on maritime jurisdiction.
Kurtulmuş said he believed the decision would further strengthen relations between Turkey and Libya. He said the step would help protect both countries’ legitimate rights and interests and contribute to lasting peace, security and stability in the Mediterranean.
He said Turkey attached no significance to objections and counterclaims from outside regarding a step taken through the mutual will of two sovereign states.
