Libya has been mired in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. The November military deal was introduced in the Turkish parliament on Saturday. Erdogan declared on Tuesday that Turkey is prepared to send troops into Libya if requested. "I have already said that we were ready to provide all sorts of help to Libya," Erdogan added. GNA Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha responded by saying his government was ready "to push back any mad attempt by the Haftar putsch leader".
