Greek press comes out with materials about, that in connection with the Turkish activity in Libya, Athens has to take emergency measures. Major Greek publication Ekathimerini publishes article by columnist Vassilis Nedos, in which the author writes the following:
Turkish authorities are trying to strengthen their position in Libya and try on the role of the Sultan, stopping the forces of Khalifa Haftar. Turkey's actions cause concern in Russia.
Greek media say, that in Athens they are skeptical about the statements in NATO circles about, that the strengthening of Turkey in Libya "is able to counter the expansion of Russia's influence in the Middle East".
noted, that Greece advocates compliance with the arms embargo on Libya. Athens understands perfectly, that the longer the armed escalation will last, the greater the threat of an influx of new refugees from northern Africa.
Consultations reported on “Greek Foreign Ministry - US Embassy in Libya”. During consultations with the American ambassador in Tripoli, Richard Norland, the issue of de-escalation of the Libyan conflict was discussed.
Athens:
Ankara must take care of the entire North Atlantic Alliance. Against the background of the operation in Libya, Turkey carries out provocations in the Aegean. This does not contribute to good neighborly relations between our countries..
Meanwhile, reports are coming from Libya, that the PNS troops, supported by Turkey, continue south of Tripoli.
It is assumed, that from tomorrow in Libya may begin even more active hostilities in connection with the end of the month of Ramadan.
