Türkiye Pushes ‘One Libya’ Unity in Tripoli and Benghazi Talks

Türkiye’s foreign minister said Ankara will keep backing dialogue between Libya’s rival eastern and western factions, during his visits to Tripoli and Benghazi. The minister stated that Türkiye’s “One Libya” policy is designed to support the country’s peace, stability, and prosperity. He made the remarks after meetings in both cities, which are controlled by different political groups. Ankara has long acted as a mediator in Libya, which has been split since 2014 between the internationally recognized government in the west and a separate administration in the east. The Turkish official’s trip signals a continued push to bridge the divide through talks, not military action. No new agreements or specific next steps were announced. The statement reaffirms Türkiye’s existing position rather than introducing a fresh initiative.
