So Turkey, that bastion of democracy and human rights in the region, feels unable to support NATO action in Libya. I wonder why? Could this be the reason?
"Trade volume between Turkey and Libya climbed to 2.2 billion USD in 2009. The amount of projects Turkish contractors have undertaken in Libya since 2007 has exceeded 15 billion USD.
Turkey is expected to boost its not only commercial relations and contracting services, but also increase its investments, technical consultancy, tourism, energy and industry with Libya.
Turkish and Libyan governments support establishment of joint ventures. Moreover, foreign trade, investment and contracting working groups, set up between the two countries, are expected to hold meetings soon." (from:http://www.libyaonline.com/).
Filthy favours, the credit card and the horse's head would seem to be in action here.
