NATO will continue its military campaign in Libya until full security is established in the nation, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said on Tuesday.

Davutoğlu also told a news conference in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi that frozen Libyan assets should be released before the end of the Muslim holy month for the benefit of the people.
"Security support provided by NATO forces will continue until security is fully established in Libya. Libya's political and territorial unity must be fully secured," Davutoğlu said at the news conference held jointly with Mustafa Abdel Jalil, who chairs the rebel National Transitional Council.
"Frozen assets of Libya should be unfrozen to help Libya before the end of Ramadan," Davutoğlu said. "Libyans need financial resources rapidly."

Turkey had been opposed to both sanctions against Libya and NATO intervention after the revolt against Muammar Gaddafi's 42 year-rule erupted in February.
However, in May, Ankara called on Gaddafi to step down and recognized the rebels now fighting government troops in Tripoli as the legitimate government.
Davutoğlu said he had spoken with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 10 foreign ministers from the contact group on Libya on Monday to discuss political, economic and military support for Libya during a transition period.

He said a democratic and free Libya should be built and that the unity of the country must be protected, adding that Turkey would continue its efforts to secure international recognition for the National Transitional Council.
The Libya Contact Group meeting of political directors this week in Istanbul would consider Libya's needs and concrete steps, he added.
