Saudi Arabia condemns Turkish escalation in Libya -statement

Saudi Arabia condemns "the recent Turkish escalation in Libya" and the Turkish parliament's approval of troop deployment to Libya, and considers it a violation of U.N. Security Council decisions, the foreign ministry said in a statement on the state news agency SPA.

The statement added that "the kingdom affirms that this Turkish escalation poses a threat to the security and stability in Libya and a threat to Arab and regional security, as it is an interference in the internal affairs of an Arab country in flagrant violation of international principles and covenants."
