Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Defense Minister Hulusi
Akar discussed the latest developments in Libya and expressed
Türkiye's determination to support it with the head of the
country's High Council of State Khalid al-Mishri in separate
meetings, Trend reports citing Daily Sabah .
Çavuşoğlu said on Twitter that he hosted al-Mishri in the
capital Ankara.
'Evaluated recent developments and the election process in
#Libya. Will continue to give our strong support to brotherly Libya
& will develop our cooperation in every field,' Çavuşoğlu
added.
Defense Minister Hulusi Akar also met with al-Mishri at the
ministry headquarters in Ankara.
Akar and al-Mishri talked about the latest situation in Libya,
according to a statement by the ministry.
Stressing the 500-year-old fraternal bonds between Türkiye and
Libya, Akar expressed that Ankara's support to its Libyan brothers
and sisters in terms of cooperation on military training will
continue.
Türkiye will keep making efforts for the peace, tranquility and
prosperity of Libya, with the understanding that 'Libya belongs to
Libyans,' Akar noted.
The Turkish national defense minister also emphasized the
importance of taking all necessary steps to prevent possible
conflicts in the near future for the sake of the Libyan people.
On Aug. 1, al-Mishri was reelected as the head of Libya's High
Council of State for a fifth term.
Libya has been plagued by turmoil and divisions since the 2011
ouster of late ruler Moammar Gadhafi.
U.N.-sponsored talks between Libyan rivals to agree on a
constitutional framework for holding the long-awaited elections
have been deadlocked.
Libyans are still waiting for elections to take place in hopes
that the vote will contribute to ending years of armed conflict in
the oil-rich country.
