Turkish media reported today, Friday, that Turkish Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, and Chief of General Staff Yasar Guler arrived in Tripoli within a visit that was not previously announced.

The Turkish media reported that the Turkish Minister of Defense is expected to meet reconciliation government officials.

The visit of "Khulusi Akar" to Libya comes following Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu’s statements in which he stressed that Ankara wants to work with other countries in Libya, including Germany and France, noting that a political solution is the only way to solve the crisis in the country.

On Wednesday, former Arab-League Secretary-General Amr Moussa stressed the need for a ceasefire in Libya.

Moussa pointed out that it is necessary to work towards beginning a political settlement with the participation of the Arab, African, and Mediterranean neighboring countries, especially Egypt.

“The political settlement must respect the will of the Libyans, not to interfere in their affairs, and ensure that their wealth is not exploited illegally,” the former Arab-League Secretary-General said.

He stressed the necessity of implementing the decisions of the Berlin conference that demanded a cease-fire and a Libyan-Libyan settlement, and commitment to the Cairo Declaration, which stresses the importance of a political solution to the Libyan crisis.
