The Libyan mission at the United Nations has sent a letter to the President of the Security Council responding to the protest of the Egyptian government against the signing of MoUs in security and maritime cooperation between Libya and Turkey. "The signing of the two MoUs didn’t violate the political agreement signed in Skhirat as such MoUs are usually made by the executive authorities and then approved by the Presidential Council. The letter also rejected naming the Libyan Army under the command of the Presidential Council's government as “western militias”. It is caused by blatant interventions by some countries which had been providing Haftar’s forces with arms and receiving him on their lands." The letter adds, saying this goes against the resolutions of the Security Council as they prohibit dealing with the bodies parallel to the Presidential Council's government in Libya.
