While Turkey's main opposition party (CHP) has made clear it will vote against the motion and called on Erdogan's government to search for a diplomatic solution in Libya instead, Erdogan's ruling party is in an alliance with a nationalist party and the two have sufficient votes for the motion to approve.

East-based government led by Commander Gen. Khalifa Hifter has launched an offensive against the Tripoli-based government since April to capture the country's capital.

The failure of the government held in Tripoli could be seen as a political setback of Erdoğan, since Turkey had thrown a great depth of weight and aids to them. Following the 2019 Western Libya offensive led by Haftar, Turkey had shown deep concerns and secretly condemned Haftar for destabilizing Libya. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last month that Sarraj requested the Turkish deployment, after Turkey signed an agreement with Libya’s internationally recognized government on maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea, in addition to a deal on security and military cooperation in November 2019.

These agreements drew condemnation by both Greece and the international community, including the European Union, USA, Russia, Egypt, France, Israel, Arab League and the Libyan opposition. (ILKHA)
