Turkish Embassy in Libya celebrates Democracy and National Unity Day

[Libya Observer] The Ottoman Turkish Embassy in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
marked on Monday Democracy and National Unity Day that marks the 3rd anniversary of July 15 failed coup attempt by US-based leader Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world. Gülen and Erdogan used to be really good friends, but only one of them could be sultan, and Gülen lost...
Organization (FETÖ).
Ottoman Turkish citizens and Libyan guests attended the ceremony including Ottoman Turkish Ambassador in Tripoli Serhat Aksen, President of the High Council of State Khaled al-Mishri, Vice President of the Presidential Council Abdul-Salam Kajman and member of the Presidential Council Mohammed Zayed.
Ambassador Aksen said in a speech that the coup attempt of July 15 was foiled by the national unity and bravery of the Ottoman Turkish people.
"The Libyan people and the Government of National Accord stood by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
in the face of the July 15 coup attempt and expressed their supports through messages and prayers." He recalls.
Ambassador Aksen also indicated that Libya had taken necessary steps to crack down on FETÖ by closing a school affiliated with the group, emphasizing the solid brotherly relationship between Turkey and Libya even in difficult times.
"Turkey will continue to stand by the people of Libya and its internationally recognized legitimate Government of National Accord." He reiterated.
For his part, President of the High Council of State Khaled al-Mishri drew, in his speech, similarities between July 15 coup attempt and military aggression by warlord Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...
on Tripoli.
In his speech, Mohammed Zayed stressed that Libyan people are fighting against the hostilities of warlord Khalifa Haftar with the same spirit that Ottoman Turkish people showed on July 15, 2016, against the coup attempt. He also thanked for the support extended by Turkey and its President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
to the only legitimate executive authority in Libya - the Government of National Accord, in the face of Haftar’s attempt to reinstall military dictatorship in Libya.
