Turkey on Monday reiterated its opposition to Nato intervention in Libya, warning it would trigger dangerous consequences. "Military intervention by Nato in Libya or any other country would be totally counter-productive," the Anatolia news agency quoted Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying during an address here at an international forum.
"In addition to being counter-productive, such an operation could have dangerous consequences." Turkey, a Nato member, has made it clear that the 28-member military alliance can intervene only when one of its members is attacked. President Abdullah Gul on Monday echoed Erdogan's view, saying: "A direct Nato intervention in Libya is out of the question." "The people, government and opposition in Libya do not want a foreign force in the country," Anatolia quoted Gul as saying.
