Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Chairman of Presidential Council Fayez Sarraj held talks in Istanbul on Sunday on the joint cooperation between the two countries in economic and security fields.
President Erdogan reiterated his offer to send troops in Libya if the Presidential Council requested so.
Turkey’s offer comes as the Libyan capital of Tripoli comes under a large-scale offensive by warlord Khalifa Haftar’s militia groups backed by a coalition of foreign backers including Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, France and Russia, in addition to hundreds of Sudanese mercenaries.
He renewed his country’s support for the Government of National Accord and his appreciation for the Libyan people’s sacrifices to establish a civilian authority.
Both leaders reviewed the recent MoUs signed between the two countries and ways of their activation.
