The highly anticipated Berlin Conference was held last Sunday. The continuation of the ceasefire, the call to end military activities and to comply with the arms embargo declared by the UN were the main outcomes. If the emphasis on territorial integrity, after that, the execution of the process was put under the control of the UN Security Council, and that the Libyan oil belonged to the Libyans, these were the expressions of the people who listened in the first place. In fact, as more detail evaluations are needed. In our article last day, we asked the question of whether the Berlin Conference will be a different version of the Dayton Agreement in Bosnia. According to yesterday's results, it is hard to say Dayton for Berlin. Judging by the countries participating in the summit, there is no mistake in the meeting, but it would not be exaggerated if it was said that there were everyone other than Libyans at the meeting where Libya was spoken.
So, Turkey was the side of the Tripoli government, and how was positioning of others?
Italy, close to the National Reconciliation Government, but had chosen to stand against Turkey. France, close to Haftar but had taken position against an imposing force in Turkey is full of resentment. Germany's problem was that it was constructed on the prevention of a possible wave of immigration to the EU, besides mediation, which does not ignore the use of it if it will benefit. As a parting conflict of interest between the EU countries reflects against the idea of actually how limited impact of the alliance in Libya point where all of Turkey. If Russia's position using the knob scales in favor of the Haft was in the form of an equilibrium position but also ignore the way Sarraj will take against the Turkey. When it came to America, Pompeo seemed like he was on vacation in Berlin. He preferred to contribute to the formation of pro-Haftar discourses over the countries that did not directly enter the ball but are effective with backdoor diplomacy.
It is useful to open a paragraph here to Greece. Greece acted as a frail neighbor trying to gain reputation by standing next to the winner in the neighborhood fight. There are children who are not included in the game in the neighborhood match or acted just like them. Turkey is doing exploration work in the eastern Mediterranean. Turkey to condemn the decision taken at the conference it had great remarks from the neck. I guess somebody is sitting in Greece where you sit. Don't worry as we saved you from sinking yesterday.
On the other hand, Merkel said, "We can determine that we all agree with the arms embargo." It is really important that this happens. The end of the civil war as soon as possible, the flowing blood cease, the clashes between the tribes, and all of these are the titles that everyone with a rational desire to come to life. However, the fact that Haftar is intertwined with the countries that support it geographically does not bring some doubts about it. At this point, we cannot help without thinking whether the Sarrac government will be tied. Because only the Tripoli government is open to all kinds of control before the UN. Until this time, Haftar had already acquired all the weapons by illegal means. There is a lot of uncertainty on how to ensure that it does not use the same roads from now on.
According to the 55-item Peace Plan, which was also signed under, there was the statement "All participants have committed to not interfere with armed conflict in Libya and not to interfere with Libya's internal affairs." Turkey were also directly address this matter.
On the other hand, there is a substance that the exploitation of energy resources by illegitimate means should be avoided, which probably meant that Europeans, who are the direct buyers of Libyan oil, would nape against each other. As for the political solution, there is no clarity yet. UN Secretary General Guterres stated that the five-person delegations to be determined by UMH Prime Minister Sarrac and Haftar will meet in Geneva in the next few days. I do not know what is the expectation from this meeting, but the probability of a result in the name of a political solution is almost non-existent.
Let's come to the question in the title. In fact, the winners of the Berlin Conference in many respects are Haftar and his supporters. According to the results of the conference, Haftar is no longer a rebel general, but a military and political actor that cannot be ignored in Libya. Therefore, it was Haftar who strengthened his hand by gaining time.
So what should be done next? What is Turkey's responsibility?
