In my testimony before Congress @TLHumanRights Commission, I warned lawmakers abt Erdogan's attempt to present 🇹🇷 as a model ally at the NATO Summit:
“The summit will showcase a Turkey that does not exist: a loyal Western ally devoted to common defense"

🇹🇷 should just keep putting on weekly talks between various parties, like old men sitting at a coffee shop yammering all day long, discussing the world’s problems over cigarettes and coffee, yet achieving the same result: nothing

🇹🇷 govt controls 90% of traditional media, so journos moved online. Now the platforms they rely on are blocking them too.
Those platforms are American, & so is a share of the responsibility thecipherbrief.com/turkey-has-out…

Eastern Libya’s parliament called a proposed maritime deal with Turkey “built on illegality” earlier this year. On October 20, it unanimously approved the agreement.
@SinanCiddi writes that the pact violates Greece’s internationally recognized maritime rights. fdd.org/analysis/easte…

Look! Another counterpart of Hakan Fidan who pushes back at being talked down to & bullied
Egypt “categorically rejects”Turkey’s China-like maritime tactics of attempting to claim what’s not theirs
Fidan learning the hard way that states don’t appreciate impositions👌

التقيت بوزير خارجية تركيا في إسطنبول، حيث أكدت رفض مصر القاطع لتصديق مجلس النواب الليبي على مذكرة التفاهم الموقعة عام ٢٠١٩ بين فايز السراج وتركيا بشأن تحديد مجالات الصلاحية البحرية في البحر المتوسط. من جانبه، أكد الوزير التركي تفهمه للشواغل المصرية وأهمية استمرار التشاور بشأنها.

The Maritime agreement between Libya and Turkey has been declared null and void by Greece, rejected by Egypt, condemned by the EU and Israel
It also defies existing international law under UNCLOS
I break it down for @i24NEWS_FR & @FDD

So if these two reach a maritime agreement, which according to Ankara's logic is fine under int law, it will be as valid as the Libya-Turkey maritime deal?
I dare any pro-Erdogan guy to argue against the (Turkish) logic!

My latest for @FDD echoes the sentiments of the EU, Greece, Egypt & Israel. The US should follow suit
A bilateral agreement between Turkey and Libya does not change what is agreed upon and established under international law
It is escalatory & illegal

And reminded the world that Turkey alone has a monopoly on the definition of “international law”
Turkey on Thursday dismissed objections by Greece, the European Union and others to its controversial maritime agreement with Libya, following the Libyan parliament’s approval of the 2019 deal earlier this week.

This is but a glimpse into why Erdoganistan is an economic and political wasteland

Rebuilding & re-institutionalizing the state will be a generational task

The key line in Greece’s statement, objecting to the Turkish-Libya maritime agreement is right on the money
“Geography and international law of the sea cannot be altered by unilateral, legally unfounded parliamentary decisions.”
