Turkey has strongly condemned a wave of deadly bombings occurred in eastern Libya on Friday, the Hurriyet reported Saturday.
A statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the bombings in Libya's eastern Al Qubbah city that left 47 people dead and dozens injured on Feb. 20, offered condolences to the victims' families and wished a fast recovery for the injured.
"A national agreement should immediately come into force so that Libya does not turn into a new terrorist nest," read the statement, saying Turkey is concerned about the rise in terror acts and will monitor further developments.
It also said that establishing a national unity government and maintaining state authority across the country are becoming more important by the day.
Turkey called on all parties in Libya to join the UN-observed political dialogue process and to take necessary steps to swiftly and resolutely maintain stability and security in the country.
Earlier Feb. 20, a group affiliated with Daesh claimed responsibility for a number of suicide bombings that targeted an operations room belonging to Libyan army commander Khalifa Haftar in the eastern city of Al Qubbah.
