The Greek foreign ministry on Friday denied a press report published in the UK-based newspaper "Independent", claiming that Greece was in secret talks with the Gaddafi regime in Libya.
A foreign ministry announcement stressed that there was no truth to the report and noted that a meeting of the Libya Contact Group in Abu Dhabi on Thursday had made significant progress in terms of an ongoing discussion about using the Libyan regime's frozen assets to provide humanitarian aid, in accordance with the decisions of the UN Security Council.
