Turkey will not allow any uncertainty in Libya, says Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay, while voicing full support for Libya's UN-backed government
Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay says Turkey and Libya share common interests in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Speaking at a virtual meeting of Atlantic Council and Turkish Heritage Organization, Oktay stressed that illegal forces loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar should recognise Prime Minister Fayez al Sarraj's government. Ankara wants nothing but a stable neighbour since the beginning of war in 2011, he said and added Turkey desires the same for Libya."We have no other way to help," said Oktay after Libya's government asked for support, while some countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and France, back Haftar forces.
"We will be there no matter what the outcomes. So we are decisive on that," he said. "President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan made it very open to the rest of the world and we hope that EU, US and other including Russia will understand that."
