Egypt has announced an alliance against Turkey that includes Greece, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates and France to tackle Turkish moves in Libya and the Mediterranean. The announcement was made during a virtual meeting with the foreign ministers of these countries on May 11.

In a joint statement released shortly after the meeting, the Fifth Alliance said it would focus on confrontation with Turkish moves in the territorial waters of Cyprus, where Turkey conducted "illegal" drilling in the Mediterranean under the sovereignty of Cyprus. The alliance has also condemned Turkey's aggravated violations of Greek airspace. The EU has condemned on May 16 the drilling operations of the Turkish drilling vessel in Cyprus since last April.

The Alliance also criticized Turkish operations in Libya, and the Memorandum of Understanding on the demarcation of Mediterranean borders and the understanding of security and military cooperation, signed in November 2019 between Turkey and the Libyan Government (GNA) led by Faiz al-Saraj. On May 14, the Turkish oil company applied to GNA for permission to start drilling on the eastern side of the Mediterranean. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also discusses with Serraj on May 17 the execution steps. The Alliance's joint statement concluded that it would continue to hold regular consultations.



The statement raised concerns in Ankara, as the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a May 11 statement that "Ankara has succeeded in disrupting the sabotage programs of these countries in the region and their efforts to support the Futists." Egypt and the UAE support LNA in Libya, when Egyptian President Abdul Fathis al-Sisi announced in December 2019, "We support LNA and will not abandon it."

Do we provide support for GERD and military support for their army?

Not to the extent that we are in Somalia, but our presence in Ethiopia is known.

And that presence needs to be expanded, provide political support to GERD and military support for their army.

I expect some cracks in Egyptian Army. Sisi doesn't seem to share Khaleeji money equally.

not only that build an airbase there..

for the dam thing I think if ethopia would just start to take the water here and there for their crops.. all over their country there could be little for egypt left.. and I think its better to do this in smaller scale (decentralisized than in one big dam)

Wow. Syria just sent newly received MiG-29SMT to Libya against Turkey.

an israeli manipulates the Turks and Turks just jump on it, instead of using their own brains! that is why israel prevailing on muslim land.

we dont have a real problem with Egyptian brothers, if there is we should come together and talk about it. Dictator Sisi and Erdo are not immortal, they will go eventually but Turkey and Egypt will prevail until judgement day.

unfortunally some ppl dont use their brains..

egypt has been ruled by secular diktators for a long long time.. a democratic elected pro turkish government was just a single glimpse of moment in their long history..

you can go and talk about your security and meterran sea security and return back with nothing.. or you go out and bring on alliances and work with those who do not work against you.. whats coming next? ksa or uae will have different leadership?

I am against those who work against our interest like KSA, UAE, Palestinians, Egypt, Iran if people would not only bring on the jew card and the muslim card out of their buttswhen its about these countries and threw these cards in the garbage when it is about keshmir, uyghur, rohinga, Turkey, chechen or whereever

turkey needs to use some pragmatic policies and work together with friendly nations whoever they are..
