Turkey's deployment in Libya

Turkey has received the parliament’s green light to deploy troops to Libya for a period of one year.

This was on a request by the Tripoli-based government that has been fighting an insurgency. The Turkish defense minister says it is his country’s moral obligation to help the UN-backed government in Libya, yet, some observers argue ideological sympathies play a minor role in Ankara’s decision to intervene in Libya.
