Greece’s Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, has questioned the legitimacy of the recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Turkey and Libya’s government of national unity. According to Ekathimerini, Libya’s Tripoli government signed a series of preliminary economic agreements with Turkey on Monday that included potential energy exploration in maritime areas. That zone envisaged the two countries sharing a maritime border but was attacked by Greece and Cyprus and criticised by Egypt and Israel. Dendias also brought up Greece’s concerns with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, during a telephone conversation on Monday.
