Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias spoke with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry on Monday, and they both questioned the legitimacy of the memorandum of understanding between Turkey and Libya’s government of national unity, Greek diplomatic sources pointed out. It was also agreed that Dendias would visit Cairo for consultations on Sunday. Greek foreign affairs ministry statementGreece is following developments in Libya very closely, “especially Monday’s signing of a ‘memorandum of cooperation’ between the Government of National Unity (GNU) of Libya and Turkey in the field of hydrocarbons,” the Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry noted in a statement released on Monday evening. The “Turkish-Libyan ‘memorandum’ of 2019 is illegal, invalid and non-existent, therefore no entity has any right to invoke it,” it was stressed. “Any action or reference in implementation of said ‘memorandum’ will be de facto illegal, and -depending on its gravity- will carry a reaction both at the bilateral level and at the level of the European Union and NATO,” stated the ministry.
