A parliamentary motion in Ankara
authorising the Turkish government to send troops to Libya
increases tensions in the conflict-torn north African country,
Deputy Foreign Minister Marina Sereni said Thursday.
"The Turkish parliament's vote on Libya increases tensions in
an already dramatic picture," she said.
"The EU mission proposed by Italy is ever more important to
ask all actors to respect the UN embargo, silence arms, and give
the say back to politics", she said.
The European Commission reiterate that there was no military
solution to the crisis.
It said it had reiterated this to the players on various
occasions, the last being on December 23.
