In article published with Middle East Institute (MEI) on 27 May, Jason Pack argues that the capture by Government of National Accord (GNA) forces of the Libyan National Army (LNA) controlled Watiya airbase made possible by the support provided by Turkey to the GNA is a turning point in the battle for Tripoli. For Pack, Haftar is now losing this battle, and Libya’s future partly depends on how Turkey will decide to use their newly gained momentum over Libyan affairs. In this regard, Pack strongly argues in favor of Turkey adopting the role of dealmaker to mediate between Libyan factions and allow for an end of the political and security crisis.Click here to read the article.
