The Libyan Parliament announced that the Al-Bayda Court of Appeals annulled the memorandum that the Muslim Brotherhood Government of National Accords, based in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, signed with Turkey.

The memorandum was with the aim of stealing Greece's maritime sovereign rights.

The Muslim Brotherhood GNA was given a mandate to rule Libya, but it expired in December 2017.

The Libyan Parliament, based in the eastern city of Tobruk, has opposed the Turkish-backed Muslim Brotherhood GNA because of its illegitimacy after its mandate expired and for being a harbinger of terrorist activity in the country.

Fayez al-Saraj, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood GNA and an ethnic Turk, signed a memorandum with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on the delimitation of maritime zones that traverses Greece's sovereign rights.
