Workers who have returned from Libya may receive labor subsidies, Turkish minister says

Turkish State Minister for foreign trade Zafer Caglayan said Monday that those Turkish workers who had returned from Libya to Turkey might receive labor subsidies.

Speaking to reporters in Turkish capital province of Ankara, Caglayan said that "those Turkish workers registered with Turkey's social security system and have had to leave Libya may be eligible to receive salaries under the 'unemployment insurance'."

We do not desire more bloodshed in Libya and want (foreign) intervention to end by establishing an atmosphere of peace in that country, Caglayan said.

Once things improve in Libya, our companies will return back and go on with their projects. Our companies are ones for tough days, Caglayan also said.
