According to the Director of the
Non-State Actors in Fragile Environments
Programme at the Centre for Global Policy,
Hassan Hassan, the footage is the “clearest
evidence yet” of Syrian fighters being
deployed in Libya on behalf of the GNA.
Yesterday, the
London-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights claimed that 300 Syrian fighters are
already present in Libya, with another 1,000
currently encamped at a Turkish base. On
Friday, it was reported by
Bloomberg that Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be dispatching
Syrian “rebels” to help support the GNA.
The Turkish
parliament is expected to vote on Thursday
on the motion to authorise sending the army
to Libya in support of Libyan Prime Minister
Fayez Al-Sarraj. Earlier this month, Erdoğan
expressed his country’s
readiness to send troops should the
Libyan government request them, in addition
to establishing a
military base in the country.
However, the
New York Times reported today
that the main opposition party in Turkey,
the Republican Peoples’ Party (CHP), which
has previously expressed concerns, has
stated that it does not support the
government’s decision to deploy Turkish
troops in Libya. “We don’t want this
terrible picture that unfolded in Syria to
unfold in yet another country,” Unal Cevikoz,
the CHP’s deputy chairman, told reporters
after a meeting with Foreign Minister Mevlut
Çavuşoğlu.
