Greek PM threatens veto over Libya as Haftar visits Athens

Expressing his dismay that Greece was not invited to attend Sunday's Berlin Conference on Libya, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis vowed on Thursday to veto any solution on the North African country if the maritime border deal between the Tripoli-based government with Turkey is not scrapped.

"Greece will never accept any political solution for Libya at the European Council which does not have as a precondition the annulment of the memorandum with Turkey," he said in an interview with Alpha TV on Thursday during which he bemoaned that Greece was "wrongly" not invited to the Berlin conference which will discuss the crisis in the North African country. 

Mitsotakis also revealed that he has sent letters outlining Greece's positions to his European Union counterparts, and European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
