ANKARA: Turkey’s main opposition leader on Tuesday urged Ankara to play a mediation role in Libya between the country’s two rival camps, rather than siding with the Government of National Accord (GNA) headed by Fayez Al-Sarraj. “We’ve … urged the government not to follow the Syria policy in Libya. Turkey has … followed this policy between Iran and Iraq, for instance,” said Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP). He also urged the government to mend ties with other countries in the region, especially Syria, Israel and Egypt. Turkey does not currently have ambassadors in Syria, Israel or Egypt due to tensions with those countries.
