Turkey mainly cares for the immediate end of clashes and announcement of cease-fire in Libya, said the presidential spokesman on Jan. , Eurasia Diary reports citing Hurriyet Daily.
“Turkey’s priority in Libya is the halt of clashes as soon as possible, and a cease-fire,” İbrahim Kalın told reporters following the Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara.
Last week Turkey’s parliament passed a motion allowing it to send troops as military aid to Libya’s U.N.-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), which has been besieged by forces of Khalifa Haftar, a warlord based in eastern Libya.
Separately, Ankara and Tripoli’s GNA signed two separate pacts: one on military cooperation and the other on maritime boundaries of countries in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Kalın also criticized the global community for not condemning attacks by Haftar.
“Haftar gets away with any kind of attack in Libya, the international community even does not condemn him,” he said.
