Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to attend the conference on Libya held in Paris today (12/11) because France has invited Greece to participate. France’s invitation to Greece is a recognition of its key role in the safety and security of the region. It is the first time Greece is participating in such a high-level meeting on Libya, with French President Emmanuel Macron extending the invitation during Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ visit to Paris at the end of September. The conference is a French initiative jointly held with Germany, Italy and Libya, with the UN Secretariat General. President of the Presidential Council of Libya Mohamed al Menfi and Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah have agreed to attend.
