Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj in Istanbul on Sunday.
“TURKEY WILL CONTINUE TO STAND IN FULL SOLIDARITY WITH LIBYA”
The closed-door meeting at Vahdettin Mansion, which began at 7.00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT), lasted nearly an hour. Later, the two sides’ delegations also met for an hour and 30 minutes.
