Turkey rejected Egypt’s offer on a ceasefire in Libya, Reuters reported referring to Hurriyet.

According to Turkey, the plan is aimed to save General Khalifa Haftar.

Egypt called for a ceasefire starting June 8 as part of an initiative that also proposed the election of a governing council for Libya. Russia and the UAE welcomed the plan, while Germany said the UN-supported talks are key to the peace process.

However, Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu rejected this offer as an attempt to save Haftar. 

“The ceasefire effort in Cairo was stillborn. If a ceasefire is to be signed, it should be done at a platform that brings everyone together,” Cavusoglu told Hurriyet. “The ceasefire call to save Haftar does not seem sincere or believable to us.”
