Turkey has urged all Turkish citizens remaining in Libya to leave "quickly" due to the deteriorating security situation in the conflict-torn country.

Turkey on Wednesday condemned as "unacceptable" and "irresponsible" a statement allegedly made by the Libyan Air Force in a Facebook post warning all Turkish civilian and military planes would be shot down should they enter Libyan air space.

"We advise once more our remaining citizens in Libya to quickly leave because of the unstable security situation and negative developments... in recent weeks," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

The warning came after Turkish Airlines suspended flights to Misrata this week, its only remaining destination in Libya after it had earlier pulled its flights to the capital Tripoli as well as Benghazi and the inland desert city of Sebha.
