EU requires Turkey not to supply arms to Libya

This was stated by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell.

“The EU Council called on Turkey to fulfill its obligations to comply with the arms embargo on Libya. The EU will continue to conduct Operation Irini to monitor compliance with the embargo by all players. The EU intends to maximize the effectiveness of the operation, also striving to avoid any escalation in the region, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

The Russian Foreign Ministry promised to monitor the EU’s military operation “Irini” in the Mediterranean Sea, the purpose of which is to facilitate the implementation of the UN arms embargo on Libya.
