Thank you for reading the news about Macron slams Turkey's 'criminal responsibility' in Libya and now with the detailsFrench President Emmanuel Macron on Monday accused fellow NATO member Turkey of "criminal responsibility" over its involvement in the Libyan conflict, in an escalating row with Ankara. "I think this is a historic and criminal responsibility for someone who claims to be a member of NATO," Macron said after holding talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at Meseberg castle near Berlin. Turkey's conduct in Libya is "unacceptable to us", Macron said, adding that the moment had come for Ankara to "urgently clarify" its stance. Oil-rich Libya was thrown into chaos after veteran dictator Moamer Kadhafi was ousted in a 2011 NATO-backed uprising. Macron last Monday accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government of playing a "dangerous game" in the north African country that could no longer be tolerated.
