Libya's transitional council calls Turkey model for Arab Spring countries

13 February 2012 / TODAY'S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the leader of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), has called Turkey a model for Libya and the other Arab Spring countries, the Anatolia news agency reported on Monday.

“Turkey's democratic structure is an example to Libya and the other countries that experienced the Arab Spring. Libya will look to Turkey as a model for its own political and democratic structure,” Abdul Jalil told Anatolia.

The NTC leader underscored the strength of future Libya-Turkey relations. “Our friendly relations will be much more powerful in the new era," Abdul Jalil said.

Touching on the crisis in Syria, Abdul Jalil said Libya was one of the first countries to come out against the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.

He added the NTC has ordered Syrian diplomats to leave Libya in a few days if the bloodshed in Syria does not stop.

“Assad must end the killings immediately. We hope that peace reigns in Syria again in the shortest time possible,” Abdul Jalil said.

Turkey can't be model for Arabic countries. Arabic people want to administired by Sharia, law of god. Unfortunately, Turkish People are not as conscious as Arabic People. Look at Egyptian Parliament, they started to work with prayers. I wish we had a parliament like this.
