The Turkish Parliament has received the bill that allows troops to be deployed in Libya while the Libyan conflict intensifies. Under Gen Khalifa Haftar, the Libyan insurgency has been taking place in eastern parts of Libya. Turkey still argues the fact whether the Libyan conflict threatens the country’s interests and could escalate into civil war. After Gen Haftar declared a “final and decisive battle for the capital” the insurgent fighting escalated around the Tripoli area. In April, Gen Haftar launched a major attack that attempted to seize the city but his forces face resistance and sent away from southern outskirts of the city.
