The reports are accompanied by two maps that Akar is alleged to have shown to Libyan government officials, one of which showed that neither Cyprus nr Crete influence marine zones, meaning Turkey wants control of all the seas up to Libya and excluding Greece and Cyprus.
During a recent visit to Tripoli, Akar reportedly claimed that Greece is exploiting the instability that followed the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi and wants to seize a chunk of Libya’s continental shelf as he said Greece is trying to do to Turkey.
