Greece welcomes sanctions

Greece on Sunday welcomed the UN Security Council resolution that "proves the international community’s volition for an immediate end to the violence in Libya and a peaceful solution of the problems, with the aim of satisfying the just demands of its people".

    Foreign minister Dimitris Droutsas, in a statement, reiterated Greece's absolute condemnation of the actions of the regime in Libya, as expressed by prime minister George Papandreou in Berlin, and called on the Libyan regime to immediately halt the use of violence.

    Greece, he said, also expresses its support to the people of Libya and, in cooperation with its EU partners, will continue to work towards facing the situation.

    Droutsas further stressed that Europe has an obligation to continue taking decisive measures aimed at the immediate termination of the violence.
