Turkey’s intelligence chief Hakan Fidan paid a visit to Libya only days after his American counterpart, William Burns, traveled to the conflict-torn country.
Libya hosted two intelligence chiefs within a span of a week, with Turkey’s intelligence chief Hakan Fidan paying a visit to Tripoli Tuesday after CIA head William Burns visited the war-torn country last week.

— The Libya Observer (@Lyobserver) January 17, 2023Fidan’s visit came after a Tripoli court last week ruled against a hydrocarbon exploration deal that the Dbeibah-led Government of National Unity (GNU) signed with Ankara last year. Citing a judicial source, Reuters reported that the court suspended the deal that aimed to allow joint Turkish-Libyan exploration for gas and oil in the Eastern Mediterranean as part of a controversial maritime demarcation agreement between Ankara and Tripoli in 2019. The deal has turned into a source of tensions between Turkey, Egypt and Greece over conflicting claims in the Eastern Mediterranean. Libya’s Tobruk-based parliament has stopped short of ratifying the deal.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said last week that the Libyan officials from the Tripoli-based government told him they were standing behind the agreement during their conversations over the court’s ruling.
The Tripoli court left room for the GNU to appeal the ruling, according to the Reuters report.
Turkey’s military and intelligence support to the Tripoli-based forces tipped the balance of power against eastern forces led by Khalifa Hifter, who has been backed by Russia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Visoki dužnosnik Peter Stano saopštio je da bi potez institucija RS da Putinu dodijeli orden mogao voditi u izolaciju RS i njene predstavnike.
