France trying to increase Russia's presence in Libya: Turkish top diplomat

Turkey on Tuesday accused NATO-ally France of trying to increase Russia's role in Libya, despite the fact that the alliance sees Moscow as a threat.

"NATO sees Russia as a threat on the hand, but NATO-ally France is trying to increase Russia's presence in Libya on the other," Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said in a joint news conference with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto.
