It has historical and cultural ties with all countries in the region. Libya, on the other hand, is a country with significant oil reserves in the world and is dependent on foreign countries with its limited industry and agriculture. Since the year 2011 civil unrest and war continue in this country. While France, Egypt, Greece, Italy, GCA (Greek Cypriot Administration), United Arab Emirates support the Libyan National Army, Turkey and Qatar support to the Nation Reconciliation Government (GNA) at the West recognized by the United Nations.
