The Turkey-held talks of the 5+5 Joint Military Committee on the exist of foreign forces had “achieved positive and very encouraging results,” an official of the Libyan National Army (LNA) told the press on Monday.
Major General Khaled Mahjoub issued a statement for the media, in which he explained that the “Turkish side has agreed to the evacuation of its troops and its backed foreign fighters in conjunction with the exit of the rest of the mercenaries”.
He said the evacuation process would be conducted “in a way that includes everyone and in accordance with a timeframe that the committee would arrange.”
The LNA general also pointed out that Ankara has expressed “its interest and keenness on the stability of Libya and acceptance of the results of the elections, no matter who would win the presidential candidates”.
He also stated that Turkey is willing to coordinate with the authorities in eastern Libya to resume direct flights between Turkey and Benghazi, and to jointly cooperate on trade and economic opportunities.
