Kadhafi and Erdogan discuss Mideast, UN

TRIPOLI — Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi on Tuesday held talks with visiting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the Middle East peace process and other "international issues," news agency Jana said.

Kadhafi and Erdogan also discussed the reform of the United Nations, a constant theme of the Libyan leader who wants an end to the system in which five nations hold veto power.

In a speech to the UN General Assembly in September, Kadhafi denounced the Security Council as a "Terror Council" and blamed it for failing to prevent 65 wars since its creation in the aftermath of World War II.

Erdogan also held discussions Tuesday, the first day of an official visit, with his Libyan counterpart, Baghdadi Mahmudi, on ways to promote bilateral investment and commercial exchanges, Jana said.

The prime minister is accompanied by some 200 Turkish businesspeople and officials, the report added.

The two countries enjoy close economic ties and Turkish companies have in recent years won numerous infrastructure, housing and hydrocarbon contracts.
