TRIPOLI/ISTANBUL - Senior Turkish officials discussed a lasting ceasefire and political solution in Libya, as well as energy cooperation, during a visit to Tripoli on Wednesday, Turkey’s foreign minister said.
Turkish support has been critical to the Government of National Accord in turning back a 14-month campaign by the Libyan National Army , backed by Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, to capture Tripoli. During their trip, not previously announced, the Turkish officials met the GNA’s prime minister, interior minister and oil company head, the GNA said in a statement.
The GNA and LNA have returned to ceasefire talks, but the United Nations, which is brokering their discussions, has warned of a possible major escalation because of the flow of weapons and fighters into Libya despite an arms embargo.
