Libya slams Greek FM’s meeting with Haftar

[Philip the Arab]

Well here goes the Panarabism...

He had to do what he had to do, he changed and is making an Arab state today slowly. If he had gone back to Libya he would have been killed by Gaddafi, he saw him as a competitor at that time.

Why would Greek not meet with Haftar? Turkey, and GNA agreement literally fucked over EEZ of Greece and they expect it to not be angry.

You should probably view this as a symbolic gesture, mildly targeted for internal consumption. The Greek government doesn't view the Libya-Turkey MOU as legal or binding, so - in combination with other diplomatic actions - wanted to get on record on this (and also try to lock support on the matter at hand in case the current Libyan government is ousted).

This is mostly looking inwards though, to provide a juxtaposition of the new ND government and the old SYRIZA one (as far as foreign policy actions are concerned). Not much substance here.

I know it is symbolic, I don't expect Greece to have much influence in Libya for now. Egypt, and Greece are the real players until Libya can recuperate, but this is still good news considering Greece expelled GNA ambassador. It does seem that most Greek people support LNA for obvious reasons though.

The Libyan government (GNA) should offer a recognition to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and open an embassy in the Nicosia side of the TRNC. There is a saying quid pro quo ( you do something, I'll respond in kind), so this symbolic action should level the Plainfield.
