As Germany gears up to host a Libya-focused peace summit in Berlin, uninvited Greece may play spoilsport

As Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar recently snubbed a ceasefire agreement brokered by Turkey and Russia in Moscow, many Turkish officialsthat foreign players such as the UAE, Egypt and France persuaded the warlord general not to sign the deal.

With Haftar meeting Mitsotakis, the common understanding within Turkish foreign policy circles is that Mitsotakis is trying to convince Haftar to do Greece's bidding in Berlin and make any ceasefire deal subservient to Greece's demand of scrapping Turkey’s maritime deal with the Libyan government. He added that the ideal way for Greece to engage with Libya is to reach out to its government, which has been recognised by the UN.

Regional security analyst Talha Kose said Greece is not as close to Libya as Turkey is, when it comes to the country's affinity with Libya's maritime borders.
