Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis made the following statement after the 10 December 2019 meeting of the EU General Affairs Council:
“In the General Affairs Council we discussed the draft conclusions of the upcoming EU Summit Meeting, which will take place on Thursday and Friday. This draft includes express reference to the fact that the memorandum between Turkey and Libya produces no legal effect. We presented Turkey’s overall conduct during recent months – conduct that is causing insecurity in the wider region. Our partners’ clear stance of solidarity with Greece and Cyprus is a clear European response to Turkey’s provocations."
