Athens, Nov 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Greece has slammed Turkey and Libya for signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the establishment of maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea.
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias on Friday summoned Libya's ambassador to Greece on Friday to express Athens' discontent and asked him to present the accord, signed in Istanbul on Wednesday, by December 5, Greek media outlets reported.
The Libyan envoy will be considered "persona non grata" and expelled from Athens if he fails to present the accord, Dendias warned.
