PALERMO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th November, 2018) Turkey is disappointed at being excluded from some meetings held at the Palermo Conference for Libya, considers such approach counterproductive, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay stated on Tuesday in a statement.

"Any meeting which excludes Turkey would prove to be counterproductive for the solution of the problem. The informal meeting held this morning with a number of players and having them presented as the prominent protagonists of the Mediterranean is a very misleading and damaging approach which we vehemently oppose. Turkey is leaving this meeting with deep disappointment," Oktay said.

The vice president stressed that Ankara was ready for dialogue with "everyone in Libya and beyond."

The two-day conference began on Monday in the Italian city of Palermo.
