Shafaq News / Ankara strongly condemned EU sanctions on a Turkish company for breaching a UN arms embargo on Libya over its support for the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, describing it as “extremely regrettable.”

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “it is extremely regrettable that such a wrong decision was taken at a time when efforts are being made to reduce tensions in the eastern Mediterranean,” stressing that Ankara considers this decision “worthless.”

On Monday, European Union foreign ministers imposed sanctions on three Turkish and Jordanian-Kazakh companies involved in violating the United Nations arms embargo on Libya, diplomatic sources revealed to AFP.
