Istanbul (AFP) – Turkey on Saturday lashed out at Greece for hosting Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar ahead of an international conference in Berlin, saying that the move by Athens would “sabotage” peace efforts.

“Inviting Haftar to Greece and highlighting the Greek national agenda sabotage the efforts to bring peace to Libya,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu wrote on Twitter. “We would like to remind our Greek friends that these futile efforts are in vain.”
