Turkey cuts ties with Gaddafi’s Libyan government

ISTANBUL: Turkey has cut its diplomatic ties with Muammar Gaddafi’s Libyan government and has recalled its ambassador, the Turkish official gazette reported.

The move comes after Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu visited the eastern stronghold of Benghazi on Sunday and pledges $200 million in aid to the rebel Transitional National Council.

It was time for leader Muammar Gaddafi to leave Libya, Davutoglu said. He declared that the rebel National Council was the legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
