The Greek foreign minister said he went to Tripoli to meet with the chairman of the presidential council, Muhammad al-Manfi, at his special request, but the appearance at the airport of foreign minister Naglaa al-Mankoush means that the agreement has not been fulfilled. .
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias stated this in an interview with the newspaper.Ta nea savvatokyriakoOn the reasons for the cancellation of the planned visit to Tripoli: “Al-Munfi personally asked us to go to Tripoli. And we agreed to meet with him as a personal concession to him, provided there were no contacts or official contacts with the Provisional Government of National Unity. We were going to meet him and leave. However, the appearance of foreign minister Naglaa al-Mangush as a minister in the interim government of national unity means that the agreement has not been implemented.
Dendias believed that his decision to cancel his visit to Tripoli was “a symbolic and essential matter” as the interim government of national unity has “a limited mandate and the UN’s position is that this government is not empowered to sign agreements”. .”
Last Thursday, Dendias arrived at Mitiga airport, where Mankoush was waiting for him, but refused to get off the plane and decided to head to the city of Benghazi.
After that, the government of Libyan unity called charge d’affaires of Greece, Ioannis Stamatikos, against the backdrop of the cancellation of the visit of his country’s foreign minister to Tripoli, where he arrived by plane and returned without leaving the plane.
