Reactions in Athens and Nicosia to the Turkey-Libya Memorandum
October 21, 2026
The ratification of the Turkey-Libya memorandum by Libya has caused disappointment in Athens and Nicosia. This decision undermines expectations for improving relations with Libya and complicates Greece's efforts for maritime boundary delineation. There are reports of potential pressure through the EU regarding eastern Libya, which could influence funding to Benghazi. However, there is currently no official decision to halt funding. Greek diplomacy is closely monitoring the developments with interest.
