PALERMO (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Nov, 2018 ) ,:Turkey has withdrawn from an international conference on Libya in Italy's southern city of Palermo, the country's vice president said Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters, Fuat Oktay said "The international community, unfortunately, could not reach a consensus this morning. Some [countries] have unilaterally interfered in the process by misusing the meeting being hosted by Italy.

" "As long as some countries continue crippling the process in the direction of its own benefits, stability cannot be provided in Libya," he added, without naming any country.

Oktay said that it was a very "misleading" and "harming" stance that an unofficial meeting was held between some sides this morning and these sides were being represented as Primary actors in the Mediterranean region.

"On the contrary, we are open to wide-range dialogue with all the actors in Libya and the region," the vice-president added.
