Turkey said it opposed Greece’s “unilateral activities” in hydrocarbon fields south of Crete with a consortium led by U.S. oil major Chevron as a violation of international law and good neighbourly relations.
The Chevron-led consortium signed exclusive lease agreements to look for natural gas off southern Greece, expanding the United States’ presence in the eastern Mediterranean.
It said the activity, while not directly impacting Turkey’s continental shelf in the region, also violated Libya’s maritime jurisdiction declared to the United Nations on May 27, 2025.
