In statements after meeting his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry in Cairo on Sunday, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias accused Turkey of creating a “monstrosity” in the Turkish-Libyan memorandum of 2019, by blackmailing and exerting pressure on Libyan officials. Dendias stressed, in his statements, that it was Greece’s obligation to defend its territorial rights using all available legal means. “No government can grant Turkey concessions for exploratory drilling in areas where it does not have sovereign rights,” he underlined. No one can ignore geography, no one can create a ‘virtual’ world in which islands stop appearing on maps,” he added. We seek nothing that does not belong to us….We do not undertake aggressive action nor undermine peace and stability,” Dendias said.
