Istanbul: Turkey is determined to use “all means of its political, diplomatic and military power” to safeguard Libya’s UN-recognized government, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
“Turkey will continue to stay in Libya until the legitimate government is brought to safety,” Erdogan says in Istanbul ahead of his visit to Berlin on Sunday for Libya peace talks.
“I am in Germany tomorrow. ... We will discuss these [issues] with all those [parties] in the Mediterranean who are interested in Libya,” the Turkish president says, without elaborating.
Turkey supports a UN-backed government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj in Tripoli against General Khalifa Haftar, based in the country’s east, and has dispatched troops to bolster al-Sarraj.
Ankara will side with its “brothers and sisters” in Libya, Erdogan adds, citing “very deep historical links” between Turkey and the North African nation. (DPA)
