Tripoli: The Libyan people will not accept any occupation by the Turks. Statement by the Libyan militia commander
Libya's eastern army general has warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to keep his forces out of Libya or face an armed response. According to an Arab broadcaster report, the warning was issued by General Khalifa Haftar of the Libyan Eastern Army, who led the Lebanese National Army (LNA) in a dispute with the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli. .
It should be noted that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sent Turkish-backed people from Syria to fight for GNA, who have artillery and Indian weapons, and they have turned in their favor. Haftar addressed the army. He accused the Turkish president of coming to Libya to seek the legacy of his forefathers. "We want to tell them that we will respond to the legacy of your forefathers with bullets, anybody in Libya," he said. There will be no mercy from the Turkish force because they are not worthy of mercy.
He also said that the Libyan people would not accept any occupation by the Turks and would never become a colony again. Meanwhile, Samuel Ramani, a researcher at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, said that Haftar in his anti-Turkish rhetoric. He added that he was emphasizing that the war in Libya is not just a struggle against GNA-linked militants or terrorist militias, but for Libya's sovereignty and independence from Turkey's sovereign agenda. There is a struggle.
Meanwhile, Khalifa Haftar's warning to Recep Tayyip Erdogan started a war of words between the Turkish Minister of Defense and the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. It is believed that Turkey has good relations with the UN-recognized government in Libya. Assistance is also being provided while Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Russia are with the forces of the warring group Khalifa Haftar.
Tripoli's GNA government recently dramatically pushed back Commander Haftar's forces after seeking help from Turkey, noting that the 2011 NATO alliance backed Libya's long-ruling Muammar Gaddafi. The operation was launched and he had to relinquish power but the atmosphere of chaos in the country was further aggravated.
Libya's long-ruling Muammar Gaddafi's government was overthrown during the "Arab Spring" campaign launched in 2011. Western nations took part in operations against Muammar Gaddafi, but only after his ouster. Tensions in Libya escalated and civil war broke out, with militants strengthening on the one hand and General Khalifa Haftar forming his own militia and establishing his own government on the other. General Khalifa Haftar's militia laid siege to Tripoli in April this year and disrupted the system of government with the support of key countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
