Erdogan says Turkey to increase support for Libya's Serraj
|
[AlAhram] President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
will increase its support for Libya's leader Fayez al Serraj and that the conflict there can only be resolved politically under the auspices of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
"Turkey would advance its cooperation with Libya including searching for hydrocarbons in the eastern Mediterranean, as part of a bilateral maritime deal reached between the two governments".
Erdogan also welcomed the recent advances made by the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
government on the battlefield saying it was right to use "self-defence", adding that Haftar cannot remain at the negotiating table.
Erdogan said eastern commander Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly...
and his supporters are the biggest obstacle to peace.
"An individual who constantly threatens the future of Libya cannot have a representation capability at the table," the Ottoman Turkish leader said.
He also criticised outside countries backing Haftar, saying they were "the biggest obstacle before peace" in Libya. "History will judge them."
