Erdogan demanded the elimination of all foreign mercenaries in Libya

9

On Sunday, during an exclusive interview with Kriter, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan demanded the removal of all foreign mercenaries from Libyan territory.

The international community must do everything in its power to support the legitimate government of Libya and stop the putschists committing war crimes. Mercenaries who turned the country into a "blood bath" should be immediately eliminated

- emphasized Erdogan.



Such a formidable statement by the Turkish president can be regarded as a reaction to the recent destruction of anti-aircraft systems at Al-Vatiya airbase. During the alleged UAE air raid, Turkish MIM-23 Hawk air defense systems were destroyed, as evidenced by confirmations.

In March, the PNS launched Operation Peace Storm against the LNA forces to counter the attacks of the Haftarovites in Tripoli, as well as at Al-Vatiya airbase and Tarhun, the last stronghold of the putschists in the western part of the country. Despite constant calls for a ceasefire, the Libyan conflict continues to escalate due to the participation of foreign mercenaries, especially those sent to Libya by Russia, the UAE and France, the main supporters of the Libyan national army.

Since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, a civil war has erupted in Libya. The new government of the country came to power in 2015, but efforts for a long-term political settlement failed due to hostilities by General Khalifa Haftar. The internationally recognized government is led by Fayez Saraj.

    And the legitimate government of Syria? Erdogan with such views will rake more than once, until his brains stand in a row!

      Don't you understand, if the success of the US-organized coup were successful, you would have received Turkey as a clear satellite of the United States and an ardent enemy of the Russian Federation. Now mutually beneficial negotiations and actions are underway with R. Erdogan. Russia needs to leave Libya and help R. Erdogan win, otherwise the Russian Federation will get stuck in Libya worse than anyone and without any bonuses, they will be raked by France, Egypt and others .. In addition to Turkey, we will get big differences ...

    I wonder who was transferring the pocket-Turkish "barmaley" from Syria to Libya.

    Here it is, it turns out. Russia is to blame for everything.

    Why didn’t Turkey think of a legitimate government when it healed, armed, sponsored and trained in the Dudaev separatist bandits ?!

    The mirror situation with Syria-Russia. The same rhetoric, and also to all participants on the side of this rhetoric.
