Turkey: The Memorandum of Understanding with Libya is still in force

The official spokesman of the Turkish presidency, Ibrahim Kalin, said that the military and naval agreements signed with Libya are still valid.

He stressed that Ankara will continue its support for the Libyan political process, and that the elections are one of the steps and stages of this process.

Kalin said that “the conditions were not suitable for holding the elections, so the Libyans decided to postpone them by agreement among themselves,” noting that his government had submitted proposals in this regard.

He expressed his hope to announce the new political process soon within a new timetable and a transparent road map without causing any tension or conflict.
