Turkey has proposed a path to a peaceful resolution to the deadlocked conflict in Libya, involving a withdrawal by Muammar Gaddafi's forces from cities held by the rebels, and democratic reform.Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan outlined the proposal in Ankara - saying it would be put to Colonel Gaddafi - as a senior US general said it was unlikely that Libyan rebel forces could oust Colonel Gaddafi and the conflict appeared to be turning into a stalemate.
Turkey, which this week hosted an envoy from the Gaddafi regime, new Foreign Minister Abdel Ati al-Obeidi, said the measures would be discussed at an international meeting on Libya in Qatar next week. The US, European countries and Middle Eastern allies will take part.
Note EU-Digest: the Erdogan proposal makes absolutely no sense and will be an exercise in futility if it does not call for Gaddafi to step down before any Democratic process gets underway.
