Turkey backs NATO command of Libya operations shows that the flurry of NATO meetings has resulted in agreement. This is good news. Turkey is a PLAYER! They have clout. The prediction that they will increase their influence over the ME/NA is coming.
All 28 members of NATO needed to back any agreement and Turkey had previously rejected backing any plan unless it was given assurances that the operation would be limited to protecting civilians, enforcing an arms embargo and a no-fly zone, and providing humanitarian aid.
