Tripoli-based Libyan forces interested in bringing Turkish tanks, drones to Libya: Al-Sarraj
[ALMASDARNEWS] The leader of the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
-based Government of National Accord, Fayez al-Sarraj, said on Monday that Tripoli is currently interested in bringing Ottoman Turkish tanks and drones to Libya.

Al-Sarraj’s remarks came during an interview with the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera", in which he spoke about the objections of some to the agreement with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
Al-Sarraj said: "Whoever objects to the security memorandum of understanding signed with Turkey can resort to justice and international law."

"Libya and Turkey are two members of the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
, and they have legitimate, independent and sovereign governments, and the signing of this memorandum is one of our rights," he continued.

"Do some people think that Libya is a weak country? We do not accept pressure or manipulation," he added.

OTTOMAN TURKISH TANKS
Al-Sarraj mentioned the military support that the Tripoli government hopes to receive, saying, "The Libyan government has no alternative but to seek military assistance from Turkey."

"We are interested in obtaining tanks and drones ‐ what did you expect, excuse me, do we not get Ottoman Turkish tanks and drones so our government stands idly by, while we see the destruction of the capital, Tripoli, in front of our eyes and see blood everywhere? You wanted us to stand idly by and see the capital of Libya occupied?"

"Anyone who criticizes us must first ask himself what he would have done if they were us, and they will see if they have a replacement or not."

"We are sure of the victory, and we will finally see who has the right to negotiate the future of Libya, and who is the aggressor who will be tried internationally.”
