Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias on Monday continued taking thinly veiled “jabs” at the crescendo of official Turkish provocations and belligerence aimed at Greece, underling that “revisionism has no place in the 21st century”, during joint statements in Valletta with his Maltese counterpart, Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg.
Dendias told reporters he briefed his counterpart over developments in the eastern Mediterranean, where he reminded that Greece faces, on an almost daily basis, unprecedented and absolutely unacceptable hostile rhetoric by the Erdogan government.
He added that the situation in strife-plagued Libya was discussed, before returning to the latest instance of “Turkography” in the Mediterranean, expressing satisfaction that the European Union, the United States, France, Germany, Italy and Egypt, among others, publicly condemned a recent agreement between the unelected and interim government in Tripoli with Turkey to “exploit” maritime zones in an equally controversial and highly disputed delimitation agreement signed by the two disparate states two years ago.
“Greece and Malta’s common target is promotion of stability in Libya, and we should work in this direction, within the context of the EU and other international frameworks,” he said.
He also congratulated Borg for Malta’s election to the UN Security Council for the 2023-2024 period.
