The Turkish Minister of War analyzes the political situation. A matter that calls the laughter of Libyans and their exploitation of the drums of war despite the advances in the military route. It is an attempt to hamper any Libyan-Libyan rapprochement. Libyans must lose the opportunity for the brutal Turkish colonialist who dreams of the return of the government of Astana

It is noteworthy that Akar met yesterday with the President of the Supreme Council of State Khaled al-Mishri, the Libyan Defense Minister in the Government of National Accord Salah al-Din al-Nimroush and the Minister of the Interior Fathi Bashagha, and also participated at the graduation ceremony of the 50th batch of the Forces of Accord at the Military College of the capital, Tripoli.
Last Friday, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar called on his forces to take up arms again to “expel the Turkish occupier”, days after the Turkish parliament approved a memorandum calling for an extension of the military deployment in Libya for a period of 18 months.
Haftar said in his speech on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of Libya’s independence that “there is no choice but to raise the flag of liberation again and point our rifles, cannons and projectiles at this aggressive and arrogant enemy who ignores our history of fight”.
