The interference in Libya. That's enough ! says Paris to Ankara

(B2) France bangs its fist on the table to castigate the attitude of the Turks in the Mediterranean. Strong reaction even as defense ministers meet at NATO

A few days after the Cirkin journey, this Turkish cargo ship accused of violating embargo on arms to Libya, and the "illumination" of a French frigate which threatened to control it, the French Foreign Ministry directly accuses Turkey of undermining efforts to establish peace and stability in Libya by violating the arms embargo.

The Quai d'Orsay denounces the " hostile and unacceptable behavior of Turkey's maritime forces towards NATO allies aimed at hindering efforts to implement the UN arms embargo ».

« Turkey's support for the Government of National Accord's continued offensive runs directly counter to the efforts to secure an immediate truce in which we are taking part “, adds the spokesperson for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a press release published on Wednesday (June 17).
