Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement on arrival at the extraordinary meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council (Brussels, 10 January 2020)“Good afternoon.

First of all, with regard to Iran, Greece supports the de-escalation of tensions based on International Law and dialogue. Regarding the situation in Libya, we support the efforts of the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Libya, Ghassan Salame, and the Berlin process.

But it has to be realised that the memoranda signed by the government in Tripoli and Turkey are null and void and serve only to create tension in the region.

Thank you very much.”
