Greece rejects Turkish-Libyan memorandum at the UN
Published
Greece has sent a letter to the United Nations in which it fully rejects the Turkish-Libyan memorandum of understanding. The Greek government argues that the memorandum is illegal, void and null, and that it cannot produce any legal consequences.
According to Athens' position, the ratification of the memorandum changes nothing under international law. Greece stresses that any act purportedly adopted in implementation of the memorandum has no legal force for the country. This position is important for maritime zones and for Greece's rights in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The Turkish-Libyan memorandum was signed in 2019 between Turkey and the government in Tripoli. Greece and other countries in the region consider that the memorandum disregards the islands and violates the rights of third states. The issue remains one of the key points of dispute between Athens and Ankara.
