Brigadier General Khaled al-Mahjoub stated that Turkey is trying to get rid of the leaders of "terrorist organizations" by sending them to Libya, according to "Sky News".

Al-Mahjoub confirmed that Ankara is using the mercenary card in Libya to blackmail Europe, and stressed the adherence to the Cairo Declaration and the outcomes of the Berlin Conference to solve the Libyan crisis.

In the same context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Turkey has transferred about 350 minors from Syria to Libya, to fight there.

The director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdul Rahman, told Sky News Arabia that at least 34 of those minors were killed during the ongoing battles in Libya, and their bodies, along with about 500 other bodies, were returned to Syria via Turkey.
