Turkish and Egyptian special forces conducted joint exercises in Libya.


Six years ago, some believed that the joint operation with Libyan government forces against Field Marshal Haftar's forces should have continued and that the eastern regions of the country should have been liberated. But there was a high probability that Egypt, which supports Haftar, would introduce its troops into Libya. In that case, war could have broken out between Turkey and Egypt.

Now, of course, we understand that both sides acted wisely in halting their troop advances.

That is one way to put it. But of course if a certain person had learned to keep his mouth shut our relation with Egypt would not have suffered as it did.
