Haftar’s arrival in Athens comes just two and a half days before the Berlin International Conference on Libya, which has ruled out both Greece and Cyprus.

“In addition, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendia’s private meeting with the head of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Major General Khalifa Haftar, ended in a central hotel in Athens.

It is recalled that Haftar had met in Benghazi with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias , where it was found that views on the illegality of the two memorandums signed by the Libyan government with Turkey were identified.”

General Haftar did not conceal his strong dissatisfaction with the fact that Greece did not receive an invitation from Germany to the Berlin Conference on Libya.
