Libya derails Egypt-Turkey rapprochement
Egypt-Turkey talks to normalize their relations were halted in the wake of Ankara’s recent oil deal with Libya's Tripoli-based government.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Oct. 29 that talks with Turkey to heal their yearslong political rift have come to a halt over Turkish policies in neighboring Libya.
“Talks with Turkey were not resumed because there was no change in terms of Turkish practices,” Shoukry told the Saudi Al-Arabiya channel.
