Turkey's FM Mevlut Cavusoglu says Ankara will prevent Libya from being dragged into Syria-like chaos
"If today Libya becomes like Syria, then the turn will come for the other countries in the region," Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu cautions in governing AK Party's consultation meeting.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has warned on Saturday against attempts to create a situation in Libya similar to that in civil war-torn Syria. "We need to do whatever is needed to prevent Libya from being divided and slide into chaos, and that is what we are doing. It is the legitimate government there that we deal with," he saidOn November 27, Ankara and Tripoli's UN-recognised Government of National Accord signed two separate agreements, one on military cooperation and the other on maritime boundaries of countries in the eastern Mediterranean.
At least 78 people, including two Turkish nationals, were killed and many more wounded in a car bomb attack on a security checkpoint in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
