Istanbul: Seven Turkish citizens held in eastern Libya for almost two years were released and returned home after intense diplomacy, the Turkish foreign ministry said Sunday.

The Turks were released after joint efforts between Turkey and its regional ally Qatar, the ministry said in a statement. Turkish media said most of them worked in the restaurant business.
