Çavuşoğlu: Haftar does not want peace

"This is true that Haftar does not want peace. He seeks a military solution, not a political process, however we are not pestimistic," he said during a panel in Ankara, capital of Turkey.

The warring sides in the Libyan conflict announced a ceasefire On Jan. 12.

After negotiations, which were held in order to agree on an unconditional and open-ended ceasefire in Libya, the head of the United Nations-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, signed the draft ceasefire agreement, however his rival, Commander of eastern-based forces, Khalifa Hafter, asked for more time to make a decision.

Haftar’s delegation left Moscow without signing the deal. Haftar had some objections, including the lack of a timeline for Serraj to disband the Tripoli militia and distance himself from Turkish state. (ILKHA)
