ISTANBUL, July 17 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip
Erdogan said Egypt's actions in Libya and its support for the
eastern-based forces of commander Khalifa Haftar were illegal.
Erdogan was responding to a question about Egypt's possible
intervention in Libya's conflict, where Ankara has helped the
Tripoli administration force Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA)
to abandon an offensive on Tripoli.
President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi said on Thursday that Egypt
will not stand idle in the face of any direct threat to Egyptian
and Libyan security, after lawmakers allied Haftar urged Cairo
to intervene militarily in the country's civil war.
