Ex-Turkish minister warns of direct clash between Egypt and Turkey in Libya
|
[ALMASDARNEWS] Former Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Yasar Yakesh considered that Libya might turn into a direct confrontation area between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
and Egypt, stressing the need to stop the tension and give priority to diplomacy.
In an interview with the Ottoman Turkish newspaper, Cumhuriyet, Yakesh, who assumed the position of Ankara’s ambassador to Cairo between 1995 and 1998, and the Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister in 2002-2003, mentioned the visit of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to the western region in Egypt, during which he announced the possibility of sending military forces to Libya, in the presence of tribal leaders on the Egyptian and Libyan sides.
He said: "The border between Egypt and Libya is mixed, as part of the tribes in the region are on the Egyptian side and the other part is on the Libyan side. Egypt’s intervention in Libya and the movement of the army there will be easy because there are no natural barriers. The presence of the tribes on both sides of the border facilitates the mission of Egypt." .
Yakesh emphasized that the Egyptian administration, led by Sisi, considered the "Moslem Brüderbund" the greatest threat to it, and that Libya, under the leadership of the al-Wefaq government, which it considered linked to the group, constituted a threat to Egypt similar to the threat posed by the PKK to Turkey.
He pointed out that if Turkey continues to strengthen its presence in Libya and its inability to create common ground, the matter may reach a "violent clash" between the Ottoman Turkish and Egyptian sides.
