Turkey ready to send army to help Libyan government

Turkey can send its armed forces to Libya to assist the legitimate government of the country located in Tripoli. This was stated by Turkish President Tayyip Recep Erdogan.

The Turkish leader did not rule out the sending of the Turkish military to Libya at the request of the government of this country. In late November, Erdogan and the head of the PNS (Government of National Accord) Fayez Sarraj signed memorandums of cooperation in the military sphere and of mutual understanding on maritime zones.

If such a proposal (about sending the Turkish military to Libya - approx.) Comes from the Libyan people and the leadership, we will have the right ... The UN has introduced a ban on the sale weapons Libya. However, the sending of the military to Libya cannot be regarded within its framework. If such an invitation is received, Turkey itself will decide, it will not ask anyone for permission

Erdogan said, adding that Turkey "is ready to provide any support to Libya."

There is a dual power in Libya at present: in the east of the country there is a parliament elected by the people, in the west - a government of national accord (PNS), supported by the UN and the EU. The Libyan national army of Khalifa Haftar, supported by parliament, has been attacking Tripoli since April, where the PNS has settled. It was previously reported more than once that the PNS is supported by Turkey, Turkish-made military equipment was seen in service with tribes and military units fighting on the side of the government. Parliament and the LNA, in turn, support the UAE, Egypt, and a number of other Arab states.

Performs. Russia and France are tacitly on the side of Haftar. Not entirely clear about the Turkish interest in supporting the government of national accord? If this is oil, which is controlled by the PNS, then the Americans, British and Italians had their eyes on this pie, and even if Haftar was defeated, the Turks would get little from this pie. Even if Edik and Saraji had a get-together during which the latter promised Edik what it's a share, not the fact that Americans will want to share. In the event of Haftar's victory, this pie will be cut in a new way and the Turks would not hurt to take this fact into account in order to play along with the Haftarists, who currently control most of Libya and are not strongly influenced by mattresses. And it so can happen that having entered Libya "well", the Turks can get a surge of Kurdish activity along the entire border of Iraq and Syria with internal "reeling of the Turkish pipe" by the PKK forces at home, and this is a war on two fronts. Will it pull?

From 12 minutes on this video there is information on the map about the situation in Libya. The pink light of the Sarajah control zone, the green light at Haftar. Libya is a desert, because such a map)

Thanks for looking. Whatever one may say, but as of 5.12.19/XNUMX/XNUMX, the Haftaravites territorially control most of Libya. It is difficult to say what the distribution of population density on both sides is, and therefore it is difficult to assess the capabilities of the warring parties in recruiting. There seems to be quite a few mercenaries and the support of the UN on the side of Saraja, on the side of Haftar, the legitimacy and support of the people. he won the election. But the right thing is who in the US or Great Britain was embarrassed by the fact that the people chose this or that leader as a result of an official democratic procedure. The mattresses said that in Venezuela Guaido is the president, not Maduro, and all the American sixes immediately supported Guaido. True, where is this recognized "president" Guaido now and how does he get his presidential salary? - nobody remembers.

There is a jamb. I admit I misinterpreted the event. "In 2016, the House of Representatives of Libya was elected the Supreme Commander of Libya and appointed Field Marshal."

[Oquzyurd]

"It is difficult to say what is the distribution of population density on both sides." The population of Libya mainly (estimated at 90%) live on the line along the sea. Considering that the population of Libya is estimated at 7 million 200 thousand people (2018) and given that the capital of Saraj, then either an approximately equal alignment, or Saraj has more people, most likely.

Clear. But, the people seem to have drank "democracy" and the Gaddafi family no longer seems to him as bad as in the period when he was overthrown, and therefore the majority do not mind if one of his children, Seif or Aisha, comes to power. Haftar, in spite of the fact that he had disagreements with their dad, does not seem to exclude the possibility that he will support them in case of victory. It turns out that Haftar's actions intersect with the interests of the people.

You probably mean Syria? And talking about Libya. If you drive gas from Libya to Turkey, then this is the shortest route for more than 600 km. It's easier to throw a pipe to Greece (300km) or to Italy (400km).

[mammadov teymur]

about Mediterranean gas which, after production, they want to deliver to Europe through pipes along the bottom of the Mediterranean to Europe such countries as Egypt, Israel, Northern Cyprus, but after the agreements of Libya and Turkey, this issue will have to be coordinated with Turkey

There is a whole bunch of contradictions. Mostly Turkish-Greek. Earlier, the Greek authorities declared the persona non grata of the Libyan ambassador and gave him 72 hours to leave the country. The reason for such actions was the memorandum on maritime zones, which was signed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the head of the terrorist Government of the National Accord of Libya, Fayez Sarraj. The document provides for the creation of new maritime borders and deprives Greece of the right to maritime zones in the region of Crete, Rhodes and several other islands. However, the agreement concluded with the terrorists is illegal and has no legal force.
Turkey has previously engaged in the transfer of terrorists and PNS Libya militants and mercenaries from the de-escalation zone in Syrian Idlib and is supplying the PNS with might and main. Despite this, the LNA under the command of Khalifa Haftar inflicts significant damage to the PNS fighters. Erdogan understands this, and is now forced to openly declare his intention to send Turkish troops to Libya.

The PNS is directly linked to terrorist groups like the Islamic State and Al Qaeda (both banned in Russia).

If the PNS is supported by the UN, then it is not officially included in the status of "terrorists". Now the UN, like mattresses, suffers from squint, and therefore, on the terrorists themselves and the forces maintaining contacts with them, they cannot focus their eyesight, but they see around all those who are fighting them and rank them as terrorists.

[protoss]

Quote: Rich

with terrorist groups like Islamic State and Al Qaeda

what are these groups sort of listed - hezbollah, ira, aum shinrike? Are there any documents confirming the connection between the PNS and such groups, or is it just statements from opponents from Tobruk or Benghazi?

[Oquzyurd]

He does not understand that this government is officially recognized by the UN, and Haftar is an oppositionist, only with weapons.

The Turks climbed into Syria without invitation. So this is not enough for them - they are ready to plant firewood in the civil war in Libya. It is noticeable that the West also aims to ensure that this conflict continues.

[Saboteur Holuy]

The Turks there will quickly roll out this marshal ...

[donavi49]

Well, they are even limited in supply (armored cars, anti-tank systems, shells, mortars, etc.) + UAVs + probably the detection / destruction means of aviation were brought in and repaired = they stopped the attack on Tripoli. And that’s all, it’s already about six months in minus for Haftar. For he really can’t advance forward, and here and there he has to roll back.

Still, Turkish specialists> UAE specialists + Sudanese tourists.

There is a small problem here, namely that we (the Russian Federation) support this particular marshal. We support arms deliveries, participation of PMCs and, probably, military advisers. So in this case, there is another point of confrontation between the interests of the Russian Federation and Turkey. And it is not yet clear how exactly, on what scale all of this can affect the Russian military in Syria, if we are forced to actually conduct a database in Libya against Turkey. And here it is necessary either to increase our participation, or it will be necessary to merge Haftar, because on his own he certainly will not survive against Turkey.

PS Well, a mess in the foreign policy of Putin’s government, this is another big story.

[Ross xnumx]

in the west - the government of national accord (PNS), supported by the UN and the EU.

These are not the UN and EU, with the assistance of which they killed Gaddafi?

[Mainbeam]

Apparently, Turkey, in agreement with the Russian Federation, is beginning to play an active role in the Middle East, crowding out the states and their oil fodders. The Sultan is still that Imperial ... Imperial)))) The great Persian past haunts. No wonder he gathered the 2nd strongest army in NATO. Now you can play cards too near your borders.

[voyaka uh]

"Apparently, Turkey in agreement with the Russian Federation" ///

What was agreed?
Russians in PMCs are fighting on one side - Marshal Hartaf,
And the Turks on the other are governments in the capital of Tripoli.
Shoot each other.

Quote: voyaka uh

Russian PMCs are fighting on one side ... And the Turks on the other

So the situation is similar for the Kurds in northern Syria. In Libya, the very conceptual pro-government confrontation between the Russian Federation and Turkey is interesting, and, therefore, the coordination of interests in order to avoid direct armed conflict.

In some book I read the phrase "armed neutrality".
I think this most accurately describes the political relations of Turkey and the Russian Federation.

[gabonskijfront]

Libya is the EU oil feeder, the transport shoulder is amazing, the oil quality is excellent, the production cost is low. Control over Libya is crucial for the EU. It is its soft underbelly, oh, how many dividends can be drawn from our influence in this place. Even Syria smokes here.

[knn54]

The Turks flew with Syrian oil, decided to get the Libyan. The only thing the Libyans do not understand is that the occupiers got.
One thing is the technique, but the regular units of the Ottomans. Although the army of the PNS consists of their fosterlings, Haftar will have a trump card. The Greeks will obviously begin to help the marshal.

[Gennady Fomkin]

Nothing special happened - Erdogan Ottoman Empire revives. Let the Greeks complain to their EU partners or NATO partners, but rather let them write in sportloto .....

[Gennady Fomkin]

The memorandum of understanding on the demarcation of maritime zones, signed by Turkish President Recep Taype Erdogan and leader of the so-called Government of National Accord Fayez Sarraj, caused international discontent. Greece threatens to expel the Libyan ambassador if he does not disclose the content of the agreement. Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias called to his carpet the Libyan and Turkish ambassadors) and demanded to disclose the details of the agreement. If the requirements are not met, the Libyan ambassador Mayaz Gzlal, the Greeks promised to send. Nikos Dendias intends to raise the issue at the congresses of NATO and the OSCE.

[Graz]

Well, the Turks will tear navel in both Syria and Libya to fight

[Oquzyurd]

In general, the concept of the Turkish army is formed in such a way that they can fight on 2 fronts, with all their components.

[Gennady Fomkin]

The Turks have an army like the Germans and the French combined: German forces, numbering 178 thousand people. At the same time, the country's defense budget is $ 49,1 billion. From 2005 to 2015, the French army has declined by 60 thousand people, currently the number of active military personnel in the French army is 205 people. With 000 active military personnel and a defense budget of 355 , 000 billion dollars Turkey is rightfully considered one of the strongest armies in the world.

[Oquzyurd]

The Turkish army is now actually more than 500 thousand people. But the main thing is that it has a 100 thousandth active part, consisting of special brigades. This is a huge figure, even the United States does not have so many active special brigades.

[Gennady Fomkin]

Fine cho. At the invitation of a recognized United Nations legitimate government. Here in Syria they shout a lot that the Russians are there at the invitation of the legitimate government and that the Americans have lost there. But for some reason, this question disappears when they write about Libya. What did the Wagnerites lose there?
