 Rival government rallies support against Libya's maritime border deal with Turkey 
The chairman of Libya's eastern-based parliament, Aguila Saleh, is on a regional tour to rally support against an agreement on maritime boundaries between the rival UN-backed government in Tripoli and Turkey.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Turkey and Libya can now carry out joint exploration operations in the eastern Mediterranean. Ankara supports the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, which has been assault by the House of Representatives-aligned Libyan National Army led by Khalifa Hifter since April.
