Russian official denied Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks about managing the conflict in Libya, TASS reported.

Turkish president's remarks about Russia's managing the conflict in Libya “at the highest level” are far from reality, Russian president's special representative on the Middle East and Africa Mikhail Bogdanov said.

“It is far from the real state of affairs. I do not know where he has taken that,” said Bogdanov.

Erdogan said earlier that Russian senior military officials allegedly commanded the operations of private military companies in Libya.
