Greece has said it will block any peace deal on Libya proposed by the European Union (UE) as it complained about her exclusion from Berlin conference planned for coming Sunday. Turkey, Qatar and Italy have provided support for the GNA while Haftar has enjoyed backing from Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Russia. Germany has refused to invite Greece to the conference though Athens insisted. Following the deal, Athens expelled the GNA envoy and established ties with the Libyan rival government and Haftar. Libyan rebel General who has accepted to be part of the Berlin meeting arrived in Athens on Thursday.
