All parties should refrain from actions that risk escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, the US State Department said
Libya’s interim government is obliged by the Forum for Political Dialogue in Libya (LPDF) not to sign new agreements that disrupt the country’s foreign relations or entail long-term obligations, notes the State Department.
Answering a question from the Greek correspondents at Washington on the memorandum signed between Ankara and Tripoli on hydrocarbons, a spokesman for the US State Department said that all parties should refrain from actions that risk increasing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.
As he characteristically noted, “even though we are aware of reports on the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the government of Turkey and the interim government of Libya, we have not yet seen the text.
We note that the Libyan interim government is obliged under the provisions of the Libyan Forum for Political Dialogue (LPDF) road map not to consider new agreements that harm the stability of the Libyan state’s external relations or impose long-term obligations on it. We will refer you to its governments Turkey and Libya on the outcome of recent discussions. We call on all parties to refrain from actions that risk increasing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.”
