Monday 03/August/2020 - 12:25 PM
The United Arab Emirates Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs said on Saturday that Turkey should stop interfering in Arab
affairs, following comments on Libya made by Turkey's defense minister.
"Relations are not managed by threats and there
is no place for colonialist delusions in this day and age," Anwar Gargash
wrote on Twitter.
Turkey has stepped up support for Libya’s Government
of National Accord (GNA), sending mercenaries from Syria to fight in the
war-torn country.
Ankara has also sent troops to Libya, claiming that
they are advisers to the GNA in Tripoli.
