Ties with Turkiye improve “once Libya can patch its internal differences”

According to Barin Kayaoglu of the Social Sciences University of Ankara, Turkiye's relationship with Libya is expected to improve once Libya resolves its internal conflicts. Kayaoglu believes that a Libyan general's plane crash in Turkiye is unlikely to significantly affect Turkiye's overall involvement in Libya. The statement, published on December 24, 2025, suggests that Turkiye's role in Libya is contingent on the latter achieving internal stability. The analysis focuses on the broader geopolitical relationship between the two countries, rather than being derailed by isolated incidents. The expert's opinion provides insight into the future trajectory of Turkiye-Libya relations.
