No top-ranking Turkish official seems to have been left out of the high-level delegation that visited Tripoli to meet Libyan officials on Monday.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan dispatched Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Defence Minister Hulusi Akar, Intelligence Chief Hakan Fidan and Chief of Staff Yaşar Güler to Tripoli to inform Libyan officials and regional countries that the Turkish intervention in Libya was not an accident and that Turkey is there to stay.
Çavuşoğlu’s statements, in response to the call by his Libyan counterpart Najla Al-Manqoush for the withdrawal of foreign forces from the country, carried hints of Turkey’s rejection of military withdrawal from Libya.
