Tripoli-SANA
The commander of the Libyan National Army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, affirmed that the era of colonial illusions of the Turkish regime has ended, stressing that its forces have no choice but to leave the Libyan lands voluntarily or by force of arms.
Haftar said in a speech today on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of Libya's independence: “Independence has no meaning, freedom, security, and peace ... and the feet of the Turkish army contaminate our pure land ... and the occupying enemy has no choice but to leave peacefully and voluntarily or by force of arms and strong will.”
Haftar indicated that the Turkish regime and its mercenaries “are continuing to mobilize for the war in which if the first bullet is fired in it, let them prepare for certain death,” heading to the Turkish regime, saying: “The era of your colonial illusions is over and you must choose to leave or war.”
Haftar added that the Turkish regime “did not stop sending mercenaries and weapons of all kinds, declaring war on the Libyans, defying the Libyan will and underestimating human values,” stressing that “there is no peace in the shadow of the colonizer.”
Haftar called "all Libyan officers and soldiers to prepare as long as Turkey rejects the logic of peace in order to expel the occupier," considering that "the decisive confrontation has begun to appear in the near horizon with the monitoring of maneuvers and mobilization of Turkey's mercenaries and their recruiting near the lines of contact and the accumulation of weapons and equipment and building bases and military operation rooms." .
And many media reports documented Erdogan's continued transfer of thousands of terrorist mercenaries from northern Syria to Libya accompanied by Turkish soldiers and with support and funding from the Sheikhdom of Qatar to support the militias of the government of Fayez al-Sarraj. The spokesman for the Libyan National Army, Ahmed Al-Mesmari, confirmed that the Turkish regime's intelligence was transferring elements of the organization "ISIS" and " Al-Nusra “terrorists from Syria to Libya.
