Erdoga­n urges to end unlawf­ul attack­sTurkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an end to “unlawful attacks” by strongman Khalifa Haftar’s forces during a meeting with the Libyan prime minister on Friday, the Turkish presidency said. “The president renewed his support for the internationally-recognised government and urged an end to unlawful attacks by Haftar’s forces,” the presidency said in a statement. Erdogan met with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj in Istanbul earlier Friday. The Turkish leader told Sarraj his Libyan Government of National Accord had Ankara’s support in its bid to ensure Libya’s peace and stability, the presidency added. Haftar’s forces, which hold much of eastern and southern Libya, launched an offensive in early April to seize the capital from the government.
