Due to the increasing violence in Libya Turkey is considering evacuating its embassy in Tripoli. This news follows the Turkish ministry advising all Turkish citizens to leave the country.

In the past 10 days 50 people have died in the fighting.

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in an interview with Turkish broadcaster AHaber “There has been serious conflict in Libya for the recent months… We have taken measures for the evacuation of a few hundred Turks in Libya,”

“The measure of evacuating the embassy may be considered,” he said, warning that deteriorating conditions in Libya risked creating a “domino effect” of instability in the region.
