Thank you for your reading and interest in the news Turkey deploys drones to Northern Cyprus following Libya deal and now with detailsHind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Turkey sent a military drone to Northern Cyprus amid growing tensions over Ankara's deal with Libya that extended its claims to the gas-rich eastern Mediterranean. The move came hours after a rare public criticism of Libya’s UN-backed government by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El Sissi. Mr El Sissi is a general-turned-president who views the fight against Islamic militants as a cornerstone of his five-year rule. He’s a firm believer that what happens in Libya has a direct bearing on his country’s national security. In recent days, images surfaced on social media networks purporting to show Egyptian-made armoured vehicles being used by the Libyan National Army.
