FM Dendias in Brussels: 'The invalidity and immateriality of the Turkey-Tripoli accords must be ascertained'

Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias on Friday said "there is a need to ascertain the invalidity and immateriality of the accords signed between Turkey and the Tripoli government," in statements while arriving at the EU's extraordinary Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, where the foreign affairs ministers of EU member states are discussing developments in Libya, Iraq and Iran.

"The only effect these accords have had thus far is raising tension in the region," Dendias noted, while he also reiterated that concerning the situation in Libya "Greece is supporting not only the efforts of the UN's Special Representative & Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Ghassan Salame, but also the Berlin Process."

Pertaining to Iran, Dendias underlined that Greece favors the de-escalation of tensions on the basis of dialogue and international law.

On Friday evening Dendias will meet with the new Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the protection of the European way of life, Margaritis Schinas.
