US Senator Criticizes Turkey over Provocations in Libya and Mediterranean
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Tuesday, US Senator, Bob Menendez said The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
was constantly violating international law by threatening Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), by declaring an internationally unrecognised maritime border with Libya, that also interferes with Greece’s EEZ.

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...

Responding to a question by Senator Menendez, about what the administration was doing to address Turkey’s provocations, Blinken said he shared concerns about Ankara’s behaviour which he described as "deeply disturbing."

Earlier, Blinken reiterated his support for the Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU) to hold the elections as scheduled on 24 December, and for the immediate withdrawal of foreign forces.

Libya’s Foreign Minister, Najla al-Mangoush called on Turkey to cooperate with the GNU with regard to expelling all foreign forces and mercenaries from the country, in order to preserve Libya’s illusory sovereignty.

"We call on Turkey to cooperate with us regarding the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the outcomes of the Berlin Conference," al-Mangoush said in a presser with her Ottoman Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, 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...
