Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu during a phone call on Thursday backed an immediate ceasefire in Libya, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
The two diplomats also supported a resumption of the United Nations political process in the North African country, the statement said.
They spoke a day after the Libyan National Army of eastern military commander Khalifa Haftar said it had pulled back from some Tripoli frontlines, calling into question its ability to sustain a year-long offensive aimed at seizing the capital.
Turkey has been backing the UN-recognized Tripoli government in Libya’s civil war, while Moscow supports Haftar’s forces.
