Turkey sends police tools to Libya

TRIPOLI - Anatolia News Agency

Police equipment sent by Turkey arrives in Misrata yesterday.

Turkey has sent 6,000 pieces of police equipment to Libya, including uniforms, boots, cartridge belts and clubs. 

“As Turkey, we have shown once again that we are with Libya in all fields. Our support and assistance to Libya will continue,” said TİKA’s Libya coordinator, Halil İbrahim Okur. The equipment donated by the Turkish International Cooperation Agency (TİKA) was sent to Libya from Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. 

Meanwhile, the first Libyan political party established after the 42-year rule of Moammar Gadhafi is reportedly taking Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) as a model. The Libya Motherland Party was founded by Abdullah Benun, who has worked on Ottoman and Turkish history.
