2020-01-08 The Grand Turk
Turkey not seeking war with Egypt
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish presidency sent a message to Egypt after Ankara sent its military forces to Libya to support 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 (GNA) against the Libyan National Army (LNA).

Yassin Aktay, the adviser to the Ottoman Turkish President, said in a series of tweets on Tuesday, "Whoever says that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
wants war against Egypt or against any country ... Turkey defends the legitimate government in Libya while others support the rebels and the two coups ..."

He continued: "Turkey will not go to war against any Moslem nation, so how do they say that we will fight the people of Egypt ... we were present in Libya at the request of the legitimate government and not to confront any other Arab or foreign armies ... we seek to stop the war and others seek to ignite it."

On Monday, Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Turkey would send military experts and technical teams to support the internationally recognized government in Libya. "The government, led by the president, will decide how and when this will happen," he added.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.

Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how to drive one of these things?

Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles.

No, he said. Do you?...

Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
said, "Ottoman Turkish military units have begun to move to Libya to support the Government of National Accord," noting that the "Libyan National Accord Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj asked for support from Turkey last month while his government was responding to an attack by the supported Haftar forces from Russia, Egypt, UAE and Jordan."

#2 I have thought for the last seven years or so that the whole point of the Libyan 'adventure' was to make the forces there available to support The Brotherhood in Egypt. But it turned into an Underpants Gnome where the Step 2 was Libya doesn't descend into chaos.
