France, Egypt urge 'restraint' to avoid military escalation in Libya

PARIS: France and Egypt urged 'restraint' on Monday to avoid an escalation of military violence in Libya as Turkey is almost set for military and munitions deployment to Libya in support of the UN recognized Tripoli's government.

Both leaders called for "the greatest restraint" by Libyan as well as international authorities to avoid an escalation of the conflict in Libya, a statement from President Emmanuel Macron's office said.

Macron held talks late Sunday with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the statement said, when both agreed that warring Libyan powers need to negotiate a political solution under the auspices of the United Nations as escalations will only worsen the situations.

Their statement comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed readiness this month to send troops to Libya if requested by the country's Government of National Accord (GNA).
