The Turkish Parliament has endorsed with a majority vote deploying troops to Libya as per the military MoU signed by the two countries.

The deployment bill received 325 Yes votes and 184 No votes on Thursday at an emergency session for the Turkish Parliament in the wake of a request for military support by the Presidential Council's government as per the military and security MoU between Turkey and Libya.

Turkey's presidency on Monday submitted a motion to the Parliament Speaker's Office on sending troops to Libya. The parliament is set to debate the motion on Thursday.

The deployment motion has a one year validity with possible extension as it complies with the 92th article of the Turkish constitution that tackles sending troops to foreign countries.

On December 21, the Turkish parliament approved the military and security MoU with Libya; one day after the Presidential Council's government approved as well the agreement.

The Libyan Presidential Council endorsed on December 05 the maritime cooperation MoU with Turkey and so did the Turkish parliament.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Head of the Presidential Council Fayez Al-Sirraj signed on November 27 two MoUs in security and military cooperation and in maritime boundaries demarcation to secure the rights of the two countries as per the international law.
