World Powers Begin Crunch Libya Peace Talks in Berlin

W300

World leaders including the presidents of Turkey, Russia and France opened talks on Sunday at a summit hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel aimed at ending the war in Libya.

Held under the auspices of the United Nations, the summit's main goal is to get foreign powers wielding influence in the region to stop interfering in the war -- be it through the supply of weapons, troops or financing.
