Turkey has sharply condemned the newly signed maritime border demarcation agreement between Lebanon and Cyprus, calling the deal a violation of regional norms and Ankara’s own claims in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Lebanese – Cypriot accord, finalized after nearly two decades of intermittent negotiations, is intended to open the way for offshore energy exploration and enhanced security coordination.

Ankara, however, argues that any such arrangement is invalid without Turkey’s participation and fails to account for what it considers the rights of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

For context, Turkey occupied northern Cyprus starting on July 20, 1974, taking approximately 36–38% of the island. The invasion led to the displacement of around 162,000 to 200,000 Greek Cypriots who fled their homes in the north, becoming refugees. Turkey also implemented a policy of settling the occupied areas with Turkish Cypriots and people from mainland Turkey. The Turkish settlers are a group of Turkish people from Turkey, which never in history had any ties to Cyprus, who have settled in Northern Cyprus since the invasion. It is estimated that these settlers now make up about half the population of Northern Cyprus. The vast majority of them were given houses and land that legally belong to Greek Cypriots by the government of Northern Cyprus, which is solely recognised by Turkey.
