Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun said: "Turkey will work toward defending the international law, achieving security, and preserving peace in Libya & the Eastern Mediterranean. We will prevent any effort to exploit the conflict in the region."
On his Twitter account, Altun shared a thread regarding the adoption of the motion by the Turkish Parliament for sending troops to Libya. Altun noted the following in his thread:
“Our parliament authorized the deployment of our troops to Libya to help the Libyan government upon their official request. Some countries are trying to put their narrow interests above international peace and security in the Mediterranean. Any agreement struck with a group other than the legitimate government in Tripoli will drag the country further into chaos. Turkey will work toward defending the international law, achieving security, and preserving peace in Libya & the Eastern Mediterranean. We will prevent any effort to exploit the conflict in the region. At the same time, we are also ready to cooperate on establishing stability!”
