BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:15 P.M.) – The commander of the Libyan National Army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, issued an ultimatum to Turkey about choosing whether to leave peacefully from the lands of Libya or war, considering that “a decisive confrontation between the two sides began to emerge.”
Haftar said on Thursday during a ceremony organized in the city of Benghazi by the General Command of the Libyan National Army on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of Libya’s independence:
“Independence has no value, freedom has no meaning, no security, no peace, and the feet of the Turkish army contaminate our pure land.
