Turkey has evacuated nearly 21,600 people from Libya to Turkey by sea and air as of Friday, the Prime Ministry said.

The people were brought back by both private and military planes and ships and 2,985 of them were foreigners, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

One more ship is on its way back to Turkish city of Istanbul from Libyan capital Tripoli, carrying more than 1,000 passengers, it said.

On Friday evening, a Syrian ship will bring more than 800 Syrians from Libya to the southwestern Turkish port Marmaris, according to the statement.

Turkey is wrapping up its biggest overseas evacuation effort in recent years to move tens of thousands of Turkish workers from the unrest-scarred country.

Some 25,000-30,000 Turkish nationals were working or living in Libya before violence swept the North African country amid protests against decades-long Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

More than 200 Turkish firms were operating for projects worth around 15 billion U.S. dollars in Libya, most of them construction projects.
