The President of Communications, Burhanettin Duran, announced that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had an important phone conversation with the Prime Minister of Libya's National Unity Government, Abdulhamid Dbeibeh.

Libya holds strategic and historical significance for Turkey. While Turkey is trying to strengthen its relations with Libya, these kinds of humanitarian condolence messages also ensure further consolidation of these relations.
