In light of the intensification of the international political movement, it seems that Ankara has recently adopted the method of secrecy and surprise in its political and field steps related to the Libyan file; The arrival of a large and high-ranking delegation to Tripoli without prior announcement, and then the brief statements of Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoوlu following the visit, are among the indicators of the new Turkish way of dealing with the Libyan issue.
Without elaborating, Gawishoglu announced his discussion with Libyan officials on ways to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Libya, and reach a lasting political solution, as well as their assessment of the efforts that Turkey will undertake under the roof of the United Nations, including the steps that it will take with the international community.
There is no doubt that the visit of a high-ranking Turkish delegation to this remarkable size was not only to consult and discuss economic issues, but also to arrange Libya's political future.
Negotiate with figures in eastern Libya
Prior to the arrival of the Turkish delegation to Tripoli, a Turkish source told Al-Jazeera Net that the delegation would discuss with the government of reconciliation the mechanisms of negotiations with Libyan personalities in Benghazi, and with international actors, led by Russia and America, especially that the delegation includes the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Director General for Middle East and African Affairs in The ministry is Yunus Demiral, in addition to Safar Turan, the president's chief adviser.
This visit to Tripoli coincided with the liberation and capture of the entire Libyan West from the hands of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar's forces.
In this context, the leader of the ruling Justice Party, Birol Demir, stated that the recent visit of the Turkish delegation was a step to pave the way towards a political solution in Libya, according to the vision of Ankara and Tripoli.
In response to a question about any initiative presented by the Turkish delegation to the Libyans on the cease-fire? Demir answered to Al-Jazeera Net that "the foreign minister's statements did not include an initiative word with certain items, but we will cooperate with Washington in the coming period, especially as it agrees with us on most of our points of view for a solution there."
There is no future for Haftar, Libya
He said that the one concerned with a political solution in eastern Libya is not Haftar, as his presence is unacceptable in any political settlement, just as there is no future for Haftar in Libya. Either he is killed in the ongoing battles or he is tried as a war criminal for the crimes he committed against the Libyans.
Demir added that the one concerned with a political solution in eastern Libya is the Tobruk parliament, which "we expect to have a more effective and positive political role in the coming days," noting that they encourage the Libyan parties to reach a political solution as soon as possible.
Diplomatic cover for Libya
"Against France, Russia and Egypt, we have been given diplomatic cover by the Al-Wefaq government in international forums that we will continue to support," Demir continued.
The leader of the ruling party pointed out that Turkey is searching for a political solution as soon as possible in Libya, and that it has supported from the beginning all the initiatives aimed at reaching a solution through dialogue between the various parties.
He explained that Haftar did not cooperate with the initiatives of the United Nations and the Berlin Conference, therefore Turkey will support any initiative or conference that excludes it, and has an understanding on this issue with the United States, which has started laying with Turkey the outlines of a common vision on the solution in Libya.
Demir stressed that the presence of Hifter in the political process may hinder it, because he will face cases in international courts relating to the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
End the division
A source in the Communication Department of the Turkish Presidency of the Republic of Al-Jazeera Net revealed that Ankara and Washington are working to develop a new initiative that includes ending the division in Libya and forming a legitimate government that extends its influence over the entire Libyan soil and excludes Haftar from participating in it, as Washington will pressure European and Arab countries to support the initiative as Turkey will also pressure Russia.
Gawishoglu had emphasized the positive convergence of views between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and American Donald Trump regarding the Libyan file, adding that "Erdogan directed us to work together with the United States in Libya."
On the eighth of this month, Erdogan discussed with Trump a number of bilateral issues and issues, especially Libya and Syria, and Erdogan said in an interview on the Turkish channel "TRT" after contacting Trump, that he can say that a new stage will start for Turkey.
Understanding with America
Yassin Akti, adviser to the Turkish president, said - in a previous dialogue with Al-Jazeera Net - that the details of the understanding with Trump will be announced at the appropriate time, but the superiority of the reconciliation government has made Trump approach the Turkish vision to resolve the conflict there.
It is noteworthy that last November 27, Erdogan signed two memoranda of understanding with the President of the Presidential Council of the Libyan Government, Fayez al-Sarraj, related to security and military cooperation and the definition of maritime jurisdiction, in order to protect the rights of the two countries deriving from international law.
