UN voices “concerns” over Turkey-Greece tensions after Libya deal
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The United Nations has concerns over the tensions between Greece and Turkey in light of the latter’s deal with Libya on the Mediterranean borders, Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General Farhan Haq told reporters during briefing on Tuesday.
“The tension between Türkiye and Greece, especially after Türkiye deal with Libya on the Mediterranean borders, does… the Secretary-General is concerned, or he thinks it’s the routine of tension between the two countries?,” a reporter asked Haq during the briefing.
“Well, we’ve made clear what our concerns are,” Haq responded. “We want to make sure that all of the countries in the eastern Mediterranean are able to work productively and cooperatively with each other.”
“For the Secretary-General’s part, he stressed the importance of avoiding actions that can heighten tensions between Türkiye and Greece, and he’s reiterated the importance of resolving all disputes peacefully,” added the U.N. spokesman. “And he’s called on the two countries to re-engage in effective dialogue as a means to lower tensions.”
