Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that they have already begun to send in troops to Libya, gradually.

This came in a television interview with CNN Turk television.

Erdogan explained that his country was not disturbed by Saudi Arabia's condemnation of the decision to send troops to Libya.

"We do not value the condemnation of the Saudis, instead, we disapprove their condemnation," he said.

Erdogan added that Egypt and the UAE are very troubled by the Libyan-Turkish agreement, but in return, they are supporting the coup against the legitimate government.
