France wants NATO to confront Turkey's actions

Paris accuses Ankara of shipping arms to Libya in defiance of a UN embargo as well sending in thousands of pro-Turkey Syrian militia fighters fresh from the conflict there.

France has spent part of June trying to get NATO to deal with Turkey's violations of the arms embargo and for threatening French ships on two occasions. After receiving support within NATO for a review and investigation of the matter, nothing has yet been decided or done, and France has stated this "nonchalance" is why they are pulling back their ships as part of the "sea guardian" embargo force that patrols the Mediterranean near Libya where fighting between various groups continues.
