Erdogan Highlights Turkey’s Expanding Military Presence in Libya
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
Swanning around as if Turkey can actually afford to be the sultanate he pretends it to be.
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...
stated that Ottoman Turkish forces are fulfilling their duties to the fullest in all their areas of operation, including Syria, northern Iraq, Libya, and Somalia.

Speaking at the diploma ceremony of the National Defence University Military Academy in Ankara, he emphasised that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s military presence in these regions is part of its broader strategy to maintain national security and protect its interests.

Erdogan highlighted that anyone who tries to limit Turkey’s vision to its 782,000 square kilometres of land is out of touch with the country’s ambitions, or simply unaware of its strategic goals.

He underscored Turkey’s commitment to extending its influence and safeguarding its interests beyond its borders, citing the importance of maintaining a proactive and expansive defence policy.

In Libya, Turkey’s military involvement is grounded in the security and military cooperation agreement signed in 2019 with the outgoing Government of National Accord (GNA). This agreement, which includes provisions for training, advisory services, and equipment support, was designed to help the GNA fend off the advance of rival forces and establish stability in the region.

Under the terms of this agreement, Turkey has provided military support, including dronezaps and military advisers.

Erdogan’s remarks reaffirm Turkey’s resolve to maintain its military presence in these regions, asserting that the country’s actions are not just about defence, but also about expanding its sphere of influence and protecting its geopolitical interests.

He pointed out that Turkey’s involvement in Libya is a strategic move that aligns with its broader goals of regional influence and security, particularly in areas crucial to its national interests.

#1 Turkey uses only a few of its nationals to do its work in Libya. Mostly, Turkey hires displaced Syrians to do its work. About 500 of the latter have died but very few Turks.

#2 Turkey's Mohammed Ali revived. Erdogan enjoys backing losers -- in Sudan, Libya, Lebanon, Gaza. The sooner Turkey is expelled from NATO the better.
