UAE, Egypt and France sabotage ceasefire in Libya: Çavuşoğlu
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Thursday that UAE, Egypt and France are sabotaging the ceasefire in Libya.
"I can say that the countries sabotages the ceasefire in Libya are UAE, Egypt and France," said Çavuşoğlu.
Stating that when he was in Moscow along with Defense Minister Hulusi Akar in order to forge contacts over Libya negotiation, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egyptian officials were also there, he said: "We told Russian officials that we certainly didn't want them in our meetings, they could sabotage the deal."
The warring sides in the Libyan conflict announced a ceasefire On Jan. 12.
After negotiations, which were held in order to agree on an unconditional and open-ended ceasefire in Libya, the head of the United Nations-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, signed the draft ceasefire agreement, however his rival, Commander of eastern-based forces, Khalifa Hafter, asked for more time to make a decision.
However, Haftar’s delegation left Moscow without signing the deal. Haftar had some objections, including the lack of a timeline for Serraj to disband the Tripoli militia and distance himself from Turkish state.
