(@FahadShabbir)CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th November, 2022) Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, who came to Tripoli on Thursday on an official visit, refused to leave the plane and flew away, the Libyan foreign ministry said. Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush was personally waiting to welcome Dendias at the airport. In Libya, the Greek foreign minister was expected to hold talks with the speaker of the eastern-based Libyan parliament, Aguila Saleh, and other officials in Benghazi on strengthening cooperation between the countries. Libya, Greece, and Turkey have been involved in a series of territorial disputes over waters in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas for decades now. Athens accused Ankara of encroaching on Greece's sovereign rights and trying to change the map of its exclusive economic zone, while Turkey claimed the memorandum was based on international law.
