Following instructions from Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, Greece’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Aglaia Balta, yesterday sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General concerning the decision by Libya’s House of Representatives to approve the illegal 2019 Turkey-Libya memorandum, setting out Greece’s position on the matter.
In particular, diplomatic sources said, the letter stresses, among other things, that the “bogus Turkey-Libya memorandum” is null and void, contravenes international law of the sea and cannot produce legal effects vis-à-vis third states.
