Libyan National Army Calls for Exit of “Turkish Occupation”

The Spokesman of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Major General Ahmed Al-Mismari, described the Turkish presence in the North-African country as an “occupation,” calling on Ankara to withdraw all forces and affiliated mercenaries immediately.

During an interview with Sputnik news, Al-Mismari said the presence of foreign mercenaries on Libyan territory is evidence of the lack of any real will for the international community to expel them.

“Turkey sees that its presence here [in Libya] is legitimate, but it is in fact an occupation in every sense of the word,” he explained.

Al-Mismari said that “it is impossible that the militias would be integrated into the army,” stressing that these militias are accustomed to confiscating political decisions, confiscating money and dominating state institutions.

On the other hand, in April the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the Turkish government sent a new group of 380 Syrian mercenaries to Libya. “There are still more than 6,630 mercenaries in Libya, amid Turkish intentions to keep groups of Turkish-backed Syrian fighters in Libya to protect Turkish,” it noted.
