The government's position on the Libyan Foreign Ministry's protest against Greece over the investigations south of Crete was expressed by the Greek Foreign Ministry on Wednesday afternoon.
Specifically, in response to a journalist's question, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexandros Papaioannou noted the following:
"Unlike those who conclude illegal and unsubstantiated 'memoranda' that ignore and violate basic rules of International Law and the Law of the Sea, Greece exercises its sovereign rights with full respect for International Law and the Law of the Sea.[/I]
Something it has also done in the EEZ delimitations with Egypt and Italy.
It is the duty of Libya's transitional government to lead the country, without delay, to elections.
We look forward to working in a spirit of sincerity and mutual respect and always within the framework of the rules of International Law and the Law of the Sea with an elected Libyan government, which will have the legitimacy and authority to conclude valid International Agreements, in accordance with the 2020 Roadmap of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF)."
