Turkey started to intervene directly in the war in Libya at the end of 2019 and has been building up. The overt nature of this support is the new factor. In this sense, Ankara took this to the Parliament and this parliamentary approval for this military support towards Tripoli. But Turkey has been supporting Tripoli-based forces and more broadly armed groups that are anti-Haftar for the past few years. Turkey is of course not the only country to have intervened in this war that is ongoing in Libya and in many sense it's a reaction to the support that other countries such as Egypt, the UAE, Russia, financially, even Saudi Arabia and France also from a military point of view. All these countries have been supporting the Eastern-based forces of general Haftar. And Turkey by intervening hopes to reset the balance on the ground. Also, Ankara frames this as a legitimate support because it comes from a legitimate UN-backed government, unlike the support to Haftar, which is all covert and from an international legal point of view illegal. But now that Ankara has come out in the open with this support, it poses a number of questions. What are the reasons for Turkish support to Tripoli and are there other broader reasons that transcend Libya? So with regards to Libya, for Turkey it's important to support the survival of the Tripoli-based government because it sees it as its only ally on the other side of the Mediterranean. But there are other reasons that transcend sort of Libya specifically. For Turkey saving the Tripoli-based government is as much about preventing Libya from falling under the influence of Egypt as much as it is as a bargaining tool to really think power struggle in the Mediterranean. Turkey since 2011 since the Arab Spring has actually seen these Arab movements fail. One after another, movements that Turkey was supporting and increasingly this idea that countries that are inherently against Turkey are winning the power struggle, the geopolitical power struggle. And for Turkey, that means being in Libya today means stopping this axis of country's hostile to it from exerting influence across North Africa. But it also means trying to redraw the allocations or the maritime delimitations in the Mediterranean in Turkey's favor. Turkey views itself as imprisoned in the Mediterranean by countries which has a difficult relationship with for historical reasons Greece, Egypt, Israel, Cyprus most importantly and wants to be able to redraw the map of the Mediterranean more in its favor than the map that is currently available. This has to do with gas and gas explorations in the Mediterranean but it's also another leverage for the geopolitical struggle that is occurring.
