التنافس التركي الفرنسي المعاصر في ليبيا

Abstract EN

The research represents a real attempt to show the contemporary competition and conflict that erupted between countries to control the countries that affected by The Arab Spring.

Especially the oil-rich, including Libya, which has a distinguished geographical location, so this is what made France and Turkey engage in a political adventure, an economic competition, and an attempt to establish influence in Libya.

The State of Libya was completely destroyed in order to control its oil, which is targeted by Western countries and their oil companies.

The Turkish government tried to exploit its Islamic identity to influence the emotions of the Libyan parties and provided support for them.

Then, it made an agreement with the Libyan government headed by Fayez al-Sarraj to demarcate the maritime borders, which gave it space to pressure against its opponents in the Mediterranean, after its negotiations to join the European Union failed due to France's refusal to join.

The research was divided into five parts, the first dealt with contemporary Turkish-French relations, while the second one dealt with Turkey's position on the French intervention in Libya in 2011.

The third one showed France's position on Turkey's accession to the European Union.

The fourth one clarified the Turkish-French relations after the 2011 Libyan crisis.

The fifth one included the contemporary French strategy in Libya, and finally the sixth one revolved around the impact of the Turkish-French competition on Libya.
