The advisor to the Turkish President, Yasin Aktay, confirmed that “the agreements between his country and the previous Government of National Accord headed by Fayez Al-Sarraj, including the Turkish military deployment in Libya, will not be affected by the selection of the new interim government.”
Erdogan’s advisor added, in statements to Sputnik: “The new Libyan government supports Ankara’s role in Libya and does not oppose the Turkish military presence in the country,” considering that the agreements concluded by Turkey with the Government of National Accord are international agreements and will not be affected by the positions of other governments.
In the meantime, the Turkish Foreign Ministry welcomed the selection of the new government in Libya, describing in a statement this step as “an important opportunity to preserve the country’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.”
