The head of Libya’s Tripoli-based government, Omar al-Hasi, denied on Tuesday that his government had received any military aid from Turkey, stressing that all recent Turkish largesse had been of a “purely humanitarian” nature.
In an exclusive interview with The Anadolu Agency, al-Hasi responded to allegations by the rival Tobruk-based government, which has accused the government in Tripoli of receiving arms consignments from Turkey.
“The Turkish government has always given us wise advice, telling us it would not send us weapons,” PM al-Hasi asserted.
“On our end, we’ve been adamant about not receiving any aid that could help us fight the other side in Libya,” he said.
“We never asked Turkey for this and we don’t blame it for not sending this type of assistance in the first place,” al-Hasi added.
The premier went on to note that his government had “always found what it needed from Turkey, namely, discretion, humanitarian aid and promises to help with the future renaissance of Libya.”
The PM added: “Turkey has only offered us advice and guidance; it is trying to bridge the gap between the two sides while maintaining its calls for national dialogue.”
Al-Hasi stressed that Abdullah al-Thinni – who heads the rival Tobruk-based government – was “fully aware that casualties from both camps receive treatment at Turkish hospitals and that Turkey provides excellent medical and humanitarian care to both sides.”
The prime minister called on Turkey to “maintain its leading role in providing the means of forging peace between the Libyan people.”
His ministers have recently visited Turkey on several occasions, where, he said, they had seen Turkey’s willingness to contribute to violence-wracked Libya’s reconstruction.
Libya has remained in a state of turmoil since a bloody uprising ended the decades-long rule of strongman Muammar Gaddafi in late 2011.
Since then, the country’s stark political divisions have yielded two rival seats of government, each with its own institutions and military capacities.
Vying for legislative authority are a Tobruk-based parliament and an Islamist-led parliament, the latter of which convenes in Tripoli.
The two assemblies support two rival governments respectively headquartered in the two cities.
UN-sponsored peace talks between Libya’s rival camps kicked off in Morocco on Saturday.
According to the UN mission in Libya, the warring rivals will discuss security arrangements and the formation of a national unity government.
