"The rumors that the Libyan state has renounced the Al-Khums port or that the port will be used as a military base by a foreign country are unfounded," Libyan National Unity Government spokesperson Mohammed Hammude told reporters.
Hammude asked citizens not to believe the false news but to follow reliable official sources, according to Anadolu Agency.
He said the claims cause “public turmoil and instability," and media reports in question do not express the truth.
Media reports in Libya claimed that the port, located 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of the national capital of Tripoli, would be handed to Turkey to be used as a military base.
