Turkey Calls on Interim Government to Reconsider 'Irresponsible' Anti-Turkey Statements.

Ankara, 19 February 2015(Lana) A spokesman for the Turkish Foreign Minister Tanju Belgitch said his country has called on Interim Government officials to reconsider their irresponsible positions, and refrain from making anti-Turkey hostile statements. Speaking to reporters in Ankara on Thursday, Belgitch cited statements by the Head of the Interim Government Abdullah Al Thini in which he accused Turkey of intervening in Libya, and threatening to expel Turkish companies from the country. He said the Turkish President Racep Tayyeb Erdogan and his Envoy to Libya Amer Allah Eshler, both warned at meetings with Libyan officials including President of House of representatives Agila Saleh, the Head of the Government Abdullah Al Thini and the Foreign Minister Mohamed Al Dayeri, against making such unfounded statements, threatening our nationals and partners and giving in to a prejudiced campaign, waged by some circles in the region against our country.' The Spokesman said unless this situation is reversed, his country would take the proper measures adding 'since the outbreak of the Feb 17 Revolution, Turkey's support for the reconstruction of Libya is evident'. He explained that the Government's statements do not reflect a friendly and grateful position on part of the Libyan people towards Turkey. =Lana=
