Libya Begins Negotiations With Greece To Demarcate Maritime Borders

Libya’s Interim Government’s Foreign Minister, Abdul-Hadi Al-Hawaij, revealed that his ministry has held talks with its Greek counterpart. Both Libya and Greece agreed to begin negotiations to demarcate their maritime borders, as well as discuss a number of issues between the two countries.

Al-Hawaij noted that Libya welcomes a solution through Article 74 of the Law of the Sea, relating to solutions based on agreements and good-neighbourliness.

The Libyan FM welcomed the agreement demarcating the maritime borders between Egypt and Greece. He stressed that Libya welcomes any agreement that is in line with the UN’s Law of the Sea and which preserves the rights of Libyans.

He pointed out that the visits of the Libyan Speaker of Parliament, Ageela Saleh, to a number of countries was meant to clarify the Libyan-Egyptian political initiative. The Speaker claimed that the Libyan people were exhausted from the presence of the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli.

“One of the most significant conditions for consensus among Libyans is to push the Turkish intervention in the country away, and leave the matter for Libyans to address the crisis”, he added.

Al-Hawaij called on Libyans to end the use of force, and to diminish the power of militias. He stressed that the international community was managing the crisis, and not trying to solve it. He pointed out that Libyans were able to establish a leadership in 1922, in similar circumstances in the city of Sirte, and could be able to do so again.

The Foreign Minister warned of attacks by foreign mercenaries and extremists in Libya, its neighbours, and Europe. “Syrian mercenaries are time bombs that will explode on the other side of the Mediterranean”, he said, urging the international community to confront these threats.

Al-Hawaij concluded, by saying: “the international community has a new understanding of the Libyan crisis. The Berlin outcomes and the Cairo Declaration are important for resolving the crisis. This is in addition to the Russian role, and the role of some friendly countries”.
