Turkey says it offered Gaddafi 'guarantee' to leave Libya
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday his country had offered a "guarantee" to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi if he left Libya, but said Ankara had received no answer, Reuters reported.
"Gaddafi has no way out but to leave Libya, through the guarantees given to him, it seems," Erdogan told NTV broadcaster in an interview. Erdogan, whose country is a member of NATO, did not specify what kind of guarantee his country had offered to Gaddafi.
Gaddafi has repeatedly said he has no intention of leaving Libya.
Media reports said Friday that Gaddafi troops continue fighting against rebels and NATO forces.
