Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks at a joint press conference with Tunisian counterpart Kais Saied in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 25, 2019.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Tunisian counterpart Kais Saied during a surprise visit to the capital Tunis, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the turmoil in Libya is affecting not just itself but also neighbouring countries like Tunisia. He also said that during his visit, he and Saied discussed steps to start a political process after a cease-fire in Libya, and how Tunisia might help.
Erdogan dismissed the eastern Libya-based warlord Khalifa Haftar—a rival to the Government of National Accord—saying that it "lacks qualifications" and that "we should not let our brothers in Libya be persecuted by" Haftar militants.Cooperation on health and agriculture, as well as economic, social and political issues, were also discussed, Saied said.
