Turkey's Reaction to Lebanon-Cyprus Sea Deal: What's the Big Deal?

Turkey has a problem with a new sea border agreement between Lebanon and Cyprus. They say it ignores the rights of Turkish Cypriots. This deal is about exploring gas fields and working together on energy in the Mediterranean. But Turkey isn't happy. They don't recognize the Greek Cypriot government and back the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus instead. Turkey's Defense Ministry said this deal is a no-go. They think it's unfair to Turkish Cypriots and bad for Lebanon too. They want to talk about sea borders with Lebanon but on their terms. The Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Greek Cypriot government can't make decisions for the whole island. He wants other countries to back off and not support this deal. Cyprus has been split since 1974. Turkey invaded after a short-lived coup. Peace talks failed in 2017, and things are stuck. Turkey's stance is clear: no deal that leaves Turkish Cypriots out. This isn't just about sea borders. It's about who has power and rights in Cyprus. Turkey wants to make sure Turkish Cypriots are included. But others might see this as Turkey meddling in regional affairs.
