“In the past six months Turkey and Russia have gained massive influence in Libya, and they are using it," Borrell said."Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have at least succeeded in preparing a temporary cease-fire between the hostile parties in Libya. This is potentially good news for the people of Libya."
