Upon his return, Erdoğan discussed the recent developments in Libya and the NATO meeting with journalists on the plane. "I spoke with Gaddafi three times. I very politely asked him to withdraw. However, unfortunately that didn't happen. The Paris Summit was Sarkozy trying to figure out what he could do on his own, no one told him to take on this job.""Last night the Prime Minister of England called and I asked him, "What is NATO's objective? If NATO is after the underground riches that Libya harbors then as Turkey we cannot be a part of this. If Turkey is considered as being a combatant force, then we will also not be involved. Our planes will not bomb the Libyan public.Erdoğan reiterated his stance during an AK Party group meeting Tuesday.
