Erdogan Signs Bill To Deploy Turkish Troops In Libya

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed on January 3 a bill allowing the deployment of Turkish troops in Libya to support the Government of National Accord (GNA).

The bill was published in the Turkish government newsletter, Resmi GAzete. This means that the bill is now in force.

A day earlier, the bill was approved by the Turkish Grand National Assembly following four hours of discussions and negotiations.

Turkey has not revealed any information on the forces it may deploy in Libya. However, an Egyptian security source told the UAE-based al-Arabiya TV that Turkish troops may arrive in the north African country within two days.

The source also claimed that Ankara has approved an arms deal with GNA forces, including the sale of combat drones and air-defense systems. This is yet to be verified.

GNA forces, which control Tripoli, are now facing an attack by the Libyan National Army (LNA). Egypt and the UAE are supporting the army’s “decisive attack” on the capital, which began on December 12.

The clashes are now ongoing north of the strategic highway linking Tripoli’s city center with the international airport to the south of it.

Late on December, Turkey deployed hundreds of its Syrian proxies in Tripoli, which apparently helped pro-GNA forces to maintain their positions north of the highway.

The deployment of Turkish troops would allow GNA forces to hold onto the Libyan capital, or even grant them an advantage over the LNA in northern Libya. MORE ABOUT PROSPECTS OF THE TURKISH INTERVENTION HERE

After a little discussion with some Muslims…I came to the conclusion that Erdogan might be a good option for Libya…with a proviso of Erdogan’s True intentions that is….

occupybacon

Egypt won’t tolerate islamists near its brothers

Fuck the Treacherous Devilworshipping Masonic ZioNazi Muslimbrotherhood…Eradicate the Cancer

Hopefully many dirty Turks will meet the prophet in hell.

Erdogan is a Treacherous Bastard…but some well informed friends of mine told me that Erdogan also gained respect in the Muslimworld for Harboring & feeding the Syrian Refugees…Europe promised Erdogan Billions but gave him nothing….

Erdocunt have popularity in the muslim world due to the media, nothing more! once they’ve dig a little bit outside the mainstream medias, they’ll be ashamed to be connected to him. the fucker is the reason there is refugees in the first place. IMO he should’ve sent those terrorist to fight the kurds inside turkey… that would be a win for everyone…

Zionism = EVIL

Turkey and its Jew masters are a complete nuisance for everyone. Let’s hope Egypt somehow grows a pair of puny balls and takes on the Turkeys in Libya. The Turkish navy has no supply ships to operate in hostile waters, just a few frigates and their aircover over 1300 kms is almost negligible. Erdogan is an illiterate arsehole and simply does not realize how difficult it is to launch an invasion over thousand kms away with a loser military that has fucked up everything in Syria, let alone fight Egypt on home turf. The Turkeys will have to send their Turkman and Wahabbi ISIS terrorist cannon fodder and that is good for Syria.

Hasbara Hunter

Yeah my idea…but I just mentioned the alternative.. The Longer this Situation in the Middle East lasts the more Treacherous the whole situation becomes…As long as the AngloZioNazis can’t pull off one of their Babylonian Magic Tricks it will be Hard for them to convince the Western Cannonfodder to go to War…Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction & all that should still be very clear in the Minds of European-ZioNazi-Puppeticians…. ZIONATO Better stays Out…Let USraHell take care of their own little War…see if they can win with their 7th Faggot-Cavalry…

Issam

I’m still confused who is the bad guy or the good guys in Lybia, but one thing for sure, Erdogan is definitly not on the good side. By the alternative you mean Erdogan is the key ?

Hasbara Hunter

Erdogan is definitely an important Key…I have been waiting for Erdogan to show his true colors for a couple of years now… As NATO Member He could fight them Kurds & force them to the negation-Table when the Syrians & Russians couldn’t

Zionism = EVIL

The Turkeys need to get bogged down in Libya as the arseholes simply have no logistical ships or transports to supply a large invasion force, especially if Egypt grows a pair. Turkey is becoming a nuisance for the whole region like its Zionist masters. Egypt should supply SSM to Haftar and wait for a Turkey shoot. This is a conflict of the two of the largest fuckwit loser armies in the world.

All this could have been avoided if LNA had put a main effort to take Tripoli six months ago when the Sarraj Wefaq regime was unprepared and Tripoli was held by mixed groupings of mafia militia gangs with no organized defense structure – BUT LNA wasted time politicking, building alliances, training, arming, re-org LNA units, securing remote, isolated areas in the south of little import etc.. Meantime month after month the Sarraj regime was able to bring in Turkish advizers, plus ex-Syria fighters expert in urban combat and consolidate the disparate groups under Misrati control , construct strong defense lines (berms, bunkers, tunnels, strongpoints, barricades (mobile & fixed seacontainers) plus, importantly emplace heavy weapons to cover/mine lanes of approach and operate effective drone spotters for indirect fire support. Result – when LNA finally began offensive it came up against organized resistance and has now stalled well short of imperative objectives – not looking good, specially now Sarraj regime has deployed, with some success, Syrian jihadi cannon-fodder. As for the Turks they can still deploy into Misrata by air or sea, no matter the wails of protest from Egypt, Greece or anyone else – never mind the traitors in Misrata, Tripoli is the prize and MUST be taken by LNA or face a bigger war against Turkey. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/81ae1ac2b615325767f293d6c580a7202aebd31b1c0e58017ef97f883ad209ad.jpg
