Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan intends to send a request to the parliament in January to send the Turkish military to Libya.

His remarks came during a speech in Ankara, TASS reported referring to NTV.

According to him, they will provide any support to the administration in Tripoli, which is fighting a rebellious general, advocated by some European and Arab countries.

Erdogan also touched on a memorandum of understanding signed between Tripoli on November 28 between Turkey and Libya on the delineation of sea zones, which caused a sharp reaction from Greece. 

There are two executive authorities in Libya: the internationally recognized Government of National Accord headed by Faiz Saraj and the Second Al-Thani Cabinet, acting in the east of the country together with the parliament and supported by the Libyan National Army Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. The latter has already announced that his armed forces were embarking on a decisive battle for the capital. The LNA command has repeatedly said it would resist any foreign intervention in Libyan internal affairs, and also threatened to sink ships and bring down military aircraft from Turkey with military assistance.
