On Wednesday, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias discussed the situation in Libya with the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Ageela Saleh.

The two discussed ways to solve the crisis in the context of the Berlin Process and the ‘Cairo Declaration’.

In a statement after the meeting, Dendias said that both sides agreed that Libya’s future required the withdrawal of all foreign forces, as “this is a necessary condition for peace and stability”.

He added that “Greece is helping in this direction through its participation in Operation ‘IRINI’ and is prepared to help even more”.

He claimed that “Turkey has historical responsibilities for what is happening today in Libya, as President Macron rightly stated yesterday.”

“The importing of mercenaries from Syria and the violation of the UN arms embargo are elements that weigh on the Turkish stance. They create historical responsibilities”.

Both sides also talked about the future of Greek-Libyan relations and came to an understanding regarding the possibility of opening a Greek Consulate in Benghazi.

“Libya wants to replace Turkish products with other products that come from Europe and especially Greece”, Dendias claimed.

“We also talked about the delimitation of maritime zones between Greece and Libya. Not in the framework of illegality as is the case with the so-called Government of National Accord (GNA) -Turkey memorandum, but in the framework of International law and
following up with the relevant talks held between Greece and Libya in 2010″, Dendias said.

Dendias added that he has conveyed the decision made by the President of the Hellenic Parliament, Kostas Tassoulas, to reactivate the Greek-Libyan Friendship Committee.
