Greece's strategy amid the chaos in Libya

While the world’s attention is on Ukraine, recent deadly clashes between political factions in Tripoli are a reminder not only that there is still an open conflict in Libya, but also of the role of outside forces in the country, like Turkey. In the meantime, Greece, given its geography, its historic ties to Libya, and naturally the illegal Turkey-Libya memorandum, can’t remain above the fray, and is enhancing its presence in Libya through its diplomatic missions and with key investments.
