Ankara: Turkey said on Wednesday it was still confident the ceasefire in Libya would hold despite strongman Khalifa Haftar’s refusal to sign a permanent truce. “It is still too early to say that the ceasefire has fallen apart,” Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said during a briefing in Ankara. “The work related to this continues.”
With an international conference on the Libyan conflict due in Berlin on Sunday, Akar said Turkey supported “a ceasefire, peace, a political solution.” .
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu later on Wednesday said Haftar “doesn’t want peace” despite international efforts. Speaking at a think tank event in Ankara, the minister told the audience: “He wants a military solution rather than a political process.” (AFP)
