Joint Statement by the Prime Minister of Greece Mr Kyriacos Mitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Israel Mr Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of the Republic Mr Nicos Anastasiades
“The Turkish decision to deploy troops in Libya presents a dangerous threat to regional stability. This decision constitutes a gross violation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 (2011), imposing an arms embargo in Libya and seriously undermines the international community’s efforts to find a peaceful, political solution to the Libyan conflict.
It marks a dangerous escalation of the conflict and a significant deterioration of the situation.
Turkey should not violate the Libyan Political Agreement and related United Nations resolutions. The repercussions of such a reckless move will be dire for the stability and peace of the entire region. Ankara should refrain from taking such action, which blatantly violates Libyan national sovereignty and independence”.
