The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, in a report on Libya, stated that both Russia and Turkey; are using the ceasefire agreement, which was signed in Geneva; to consolidate their influence, while the West’s focus is on fighting the Coronavirus pandemic.
The newspaper mentioned, in its report, the idea of partition, citing what happened in Sudan during the rule of former President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, noting that Turkey supports Government of National Accord in Tripoli, while Russia supports Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar.
The long report included information about the Russian side and what it is doing in Libya clearly, but it referred to Turkish movements in the west of the country, confirming what was reported in many newspapers and by many Western officials, including the official of foreign policy in the European Union, Josep Borrell .
An informed source had revealed to “218News” details of a secret meeting between the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, and the head of the International Relations Committee in the Russian Duma, Leonid Slutsky, saying they discussed the Libyan file.
According to what the source said, the two officials agreed during the meeting, which was held in Istanbul, on a number of disputed points.
Individual movements in Libya are carried out in contradiction to the approach sought by the UN mission in Libya, which believes that it is very appropriate to work on the three “security, political and economic” tracks in parallel, and not consecutively, to try to achieve the largest possible number of breakthroughs that will benefit the whole process, considering that separating the tracks leads to dismantling the entanglement after years of accumulating crises.
