Turkey Signals Push for Deal on Maritime Boundary With Egypt

Turkey said it could reach a deal with Egypt on the boundary between maritime zones claimed by each nation in the gas-rich eastern Mediterranean if there’s wider progress in healing their strained relationship.
Egypt signed a similar deal with Greece in August but it omitted a controversial area to the south of the island of Kastellorizo, the most distant Greek outpost that Turkey says lies within its exclusive economic zone. Turkish energy exploration in disputed Mediterranean waters has sparked confrontations with Greece, Cyprus and their European Union partners.
