US President Donald Trump spoke by phone on Monday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about the conflict in Libya and Syria's Idlib, SIA reports.
"The two leaders discussed the need to eliminate foreign interference and maintain the ceasefire in Libya," White House spokesman Judd Deere said on Twitter. "Haftar – who turned his back on both the Moscow and Berlin summits – is violating the ceasefire in Libya. If peace is to be established in Libya, he should be stopped," said Erdogan.
On January 12, parties in Libya announced a ceasefire in response to a joint call by the leaders of Turkey and Russia. But two days later in Russia, talks for a permanent ceasefire ended without an agreement after Haftar left Moscow without signing the deal. A week later, Haftar accepted terms in Berlin to designate members to a UN-proposed military commission with five members from each side to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire.
The two leaders also discussed the fighting in Idlib, which has been the scene of fierce bombings by the Bashar al Assad regime and its allies. Trump and Erdogan "agreed that the violence being carried out in Idlib, Syria must stop," said Deere.
"President Trump also highlighted the importance of Turkey and Greece resolving their disagreements in the eastern Mediterranean," said Deere.The US president also offered condolences to his Turkish counterpart over the deadly earthquake in Turkey, according to the Turkish Communications Directorate.
