Thank you for your reading and interest in the news Macron calls for German response over Turkey's 'criminal' actions in Libya and now with detailsHind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Turkey's front-line push to bolster its allies in Libya was castigated as a "criminal" undermining of the Nato alliance by French President Emmanuel Macron hours before a leading German think tank called on Tuesday for Berlin to take a more active role in regional conflicts. The French president strongly condemned Turkey’s presence in Libya as “unacceptable" and “doesn’t respect any of its commitments” made at a German-led peace conference in Berlin earlier this year. The European Union's ineffective foreign policy has been exposed by its marginalisation in conflicts such as those in Libya and Syria. Mr Macron has decried German reluctance to take stronger positions and said Europe is "waiting for answers" from the union's most prosperous and populous member. France accused Turkey of repeated breaches of the UN arms embargo and of importing Syrian fighters to Libya.
