Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas, in an interview on a private television station on Monday, stressed that Greece has a “balanced” position on Libya.
The position was echoed by Defence Minister Evangelos Venizelos in a newspaper interview also appearing on Monday.
“Greece is not taking part in operations of a military nature, like the ones being carried out right now, and these are certainly not being carried out within the NATO framework, but we have said that our obligations deriving from the UN Security Council resolution and our contractual obligations are to meet the requests of our friends and allies for provision of facilitations of a support nature,” Droutsas said.
“There are UN Security Council resolutions. The aim of these resolutions is for there to be an end to the violence in Libya, for the violence aimed at the Libyan people themselves to be stopped,” he added.
