Erdogan announced the beginning of the deployment of Turkish troops in Libya

Turkey began the transfer and deployment of units of the Turkish army in Libya. This was announced by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish media write.

Turkey sends troops to Libya to maintain the stability of the legitimate Libyan government. Realizing that the security of Turkey begins beyond its borders, we will continue to mobilize all our political, commercial, humanitarian, diplomatic and military capabilities to ensure stability in the south

- said Erdogan.

In addition, the Turkish leader recalled that Ankara and Tripoli in 2019 signed an agreement on the delimitation of sea zones.

From now on, it will no longer be legal to seek oil or build a pipeline between the Libyan and Turkish shores without obtaining permission from Libya and Turkey

- he stressed.

Earlier it was reported that in early January of this year, Turkey sent 35 military advisers to Libya to coordinate the work and organize the training of units controlled by the Government of National Accord (PNS).

The PNS requested military support from Ankara amid an offensive on the Tripoli by the Libyan National Army, led by Marshal Khalifa Haftar.

Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas, who is in Benghazi, said that despite the signing of a ceasefire and ceasefire agreement in Moscow, the LNA commander Khalifa Haftar assured that he was ready for a ceasefire in the country and was going to participate in the conference on Libya, which will be held on Sunday in Berlin. Maas held three-hour talks with Haftar.

Germany plans to hold an international conference on the settlement of the situation in Libya on January 19 in Berlin. In addition to representatives of the warring Libyan parties, representatives are expected to participate, including at the level of heads of state, Russia, Algeria, Great Britain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, China, the United States, Turkey, and France.

Come on, Erdogan go for it .. It's time in Libya to restore order and expel all this trash of thieves west there. Such a country was!
Ours there, too, unofficially, we will interact ..
Now the howl in the "world community" will rise. But we are all accustomed to this .. Russia is still fighting off Syria and Iran from Israel .. The bastards have become completely insolent.

Erdogan is still our ally, as if Jews and our inner neoliberals would pit us and him ..
Now something has ceased to poison with China, but with Belarus often ..

[Oquzyurd]

It’s just that he would repel the Havtor at the hands of France, basically. (OAU, Egypt, S. Arabia does not count) In this case, Italy, which has strong graters with the French. It is not by chance that the head of Italy came to Erdogan during the negotiations between Havtor and Saraj in Moscow. Analysts are firmly convinced that in Libya (soon in Berlin a meeting) the Russian Federation, Turkey, Italy and Germany act in one block, and the opponents of the French, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt (and even partially) and S. Arabia. The USA does not care who will win, since and Hawtor and Saraj gave them assurances that their companies would be in the fattest places of the deposits.

Russia made it clear: we do not support either side against the other. We are for a peaceful settlement. We can provide defensive air defense to both parties to stop air strikes and missile attacks.
Erdogan, of course, is not our ally. But in this case, and not the enemy.

Yes, you can put an end to Haftar.

Well, not quite for one thing, but at least not against each other, that's for sure, since our interests can be realized both with the victory of Haftar and with the victory of Turkey. Ankara, unlike us, in terms of realizing its interests, has only one hope in Saraji. After negotiations with VVP with Edik, and in anticipation of the results of the negotiations on 19.01.20 in Berlin, our unofficial armed formations, that is, the "Wagnerites", took a break and are not fighting. Edik is increasing his presence in order to consolidate the conflict within the borders of the existing at the moment, so that in the event of a peace agreement between the LNA and the PNS, the withdrawal of Turkish troops would be a subject of bargaining with the consolidation of Turkish interest in an agreement on the sea. Let's wait until the negotiations in Berlin end, the painfully respectable company is going to do this

participation of representatives is expected, including at the level of heads of state, Russia, Algeria, Great Britain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, China, the USA, Turkey, France.

Who are you explaining to? They know the word "analysis" only in its medical interpretation.
All these talkers do not even know that on the eve of Erdogan talking to Trump over the phone. And they discussed Libya. The United States was initially on the side of the PNS.
As for Russia, officially no one anywhere has voiced that we are on any side.
Someone here once blurted out that Russia allegedly supports Haftar. And many picked up like crows. And still they believe in this sacredly.

We should decipher our interests in Libya. In that sense, we are in Libya and not for Khavtar, and not for the PNS. Moreover, Moscow is trying to restrain not Turkey, but Khavtar. So why do you think that Turkey's actions are directed against us? See what Erdogan said: "From now on, it will no longer be legal to seek oil or build a pipeline between the Libyan and Turkish shores without obtaining permission from Libya and Turkey." He speaks in plain text. Who is going to build a pipeline to Europe past Turkey? Only one option is the East Mediterranean gas project (EastMed). See which countries are participating in the project. Now, EastMed will build not only past Turkey, but also bypassing Russia. If you look from this angle, it turns out that Turkey is not against us.

This is at least understandable and logical, rather than when the state-territorial "voids" were occupied by gangs like ISIS.
On the other hand, no country can be considered a superpower (and this is also an investment) if it does not control territories outside its state.

In my opinion, control over the flow of refugees, in this case, is a secondary task (if at all).
By agreement with Tripoli, Erdogan blocked the Mediterranean Sea "across"
What cut off the planned offshore gas pipeline from Israeli fields from Europe.
The Israelis and Egypt will either have to take Turkey "as a share", or "solve the issue" in some other way.
IMHO.

[borberd]

No international arbitration tribunal recognizes this barrier. The Turks will be put on trial for a short time. Moreover, Europe itself wants to diversify gas supplies. Israel has already said that the Turks are unreliable partners. Erdoganchik, of course, was furious, but they did not pay attention to him.

He knows everything. He thus claims the rights of Turkey in the territory of the former Ottoman Empire. This is just the territory of the eastern Mediterranean and northern Africa.
Of course, he can declare everything, only Turkey is no longer the Ottoman Empire and it’s already the 21st century, and not the 18th, in the yard. The Russian Federation, the United States and other major players have their interests in these territories. Therefore, he is tormented by swallowing dust.

For power to be legitimate, Gaddafi had to be supported. The United States killed him and ruined the country. And now, in fact, there is no legitimate authority in Libya. There are different groups that someone somewhere recognizes and does not recognize. That's all.

[protoss]

and Gaddafi somehow acquired legitimacy? came to power in a coup.

[Nick Russ]

He came to power through a bloodless political coup. Just removing the monarch from power.
In Libya, any group will be able to stand at the helm without shedding blood?

[protoss]

He came to power through a bloodless political coup. Just removing the monarch from power.

Is it in their constitution that it was so possible and so legitimate? I doubt it.

The Turks cleverly took advantage of the ambitions of Haftar, who had already agreed to a truce. The Sultan has enough "cannon mea" for more than one conflict.

[Oquzyurd]

For information, Libya is the last country that the Ottoman Empire left in 1912. But the Turks remained there, now there are about one million. Mostly they live in the city of Misrata and nearby. This is one sixth of the 6 million real population of the country, since more 1 million people escaped from the country after 2011. Before the war, 7.2 million people lived in Libya. It is no accident that the Turks take care of Misrata.

Jeyhun, I confess, I did not know before that the Turks remained there. So, Erdogan also has real support on the spot. But who will have more trump cards - we will see this soon.

[Oquzyurd]

Yes, there are Turks, and this is a large tribe mainly (Ashiret) and the name of this tribe is "Koroglu" .... translated as "son of the blind". There is a book of the epic "Koroglu" and a film based on this in Turkey has long been filmed. that the film "Koroglu" was shot under the USSR and in Azerbaijan.

I add that Saraj is also a Turk. His family is from the Turkish city of Manisa. His grandfather was an Ottoman officer who served in Libya and remained there. The Turks ruled in Libya for 370 years.

You have the right to your opinion.
Only it does not coincide with Erdogan.
Turkey is seriously preparing and intends to gain a foothold in North Africa.

The shipyard is currently leading the construction of the UDC with a certain lead ahead of the schedule and does not exclude the transfer of its Navy to Turkey as early as 2020 instead of the planned 2021. It is not ruled out that after the construction of the first UDC, the Turkish fleet will order the second such ship.

Israel has already said that the Turks are unreliable partners. Erdoganchik, of course, was furious, but they did not pay attention to him.

Where did Israel say that the Turks are unreliable partners? Israel has been offering Turkey a gas pipeline since the early 2000s. They trust the Turks, but do not trust the Arabs because of the word "in general".
Israeli representatives have approached the Turkish authorities with a proposal to build a gas pipeline. According to the Israeli project, gas will be exported to Turkey, and then through its territory via a gas pipeline further to Europe. This proposal came immediately after the sensational apology of the Israeli Prime Minister to the Turkish side. He apologized for the mistakes of the Israeli special forces, made during the storming of the ship from the so-called "Freedom Flotilla". Then we recall that eight Turkish citizens were killed.
However, as reported by the Israeli press, the parties ’contacts on the gas pipeline began much earlier. The two billionth project began to be discussed long before the apology and normalization of relations. According to a former Israeli diplomat who worked in Turkey, Alon Liel, the energy issue played a significant role in the decision on reconciliation. In addition, now, after the collapse of the Cyprus economy, it has become obvious that the construction of this gas pipeline through its territory will be extremely risky and difficult to implement. In these conditions, the option with Turkey seems the most attractive.
