During a speech in Istanbul earlier this month, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused France of thinking more about the oil resources in Libya than humanitarian aspects. "I wish that those who only see oil, gold mines and underground treasures when they look in that direction would see the region through their conscience from now on," said Erdogan.
U svom govoru u Istanbulu ranije ovog meseca, turski premijer Redžep Tajip Erdogan optužio je Francusku da više razmišlja o naftnim resursima u Libiji nego o humanitarnim aspektima. „Želim da oni koji samo vide naftu, rudnike zlata i podzemna blaga, kada pogledaju u tom smeru, od sada gledaju region kroz svoju savest“, rekao je Erdogan.
