Turkey and Russia will hold two-day talks on Libya and Syria to discuss peaceful solutions and end to hostilities, the Turkish Foreign Ministry has announced.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Ambassador and Deputy Minister Sedat Önal, accompanied by an inter-agency delegation, visited Moscow on August 31 and will remain through September 01, to discuss regional developments, in particular Libya and Syria, with their Russian counterparts.
The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin is expected to lead the Russian delegation, according to the statement.
Meanwhile, the latest consultations between the two countries took place in July in Ankara. The talks over the Libya issues at the time resulted in an idea of creating a joint working group on the war-weary country.
Russian-Turkish talks in Moscow follow a ceasefire announced by the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli and the House of Representatives in Tobruk.
However, it is worth mentioning that Khalifa Haftar and his militias have rejected the ceasefire and said it was just a propaganda for media and that they will continue with their military build-up in and around Sirte and in the Oil Crescent region.
