Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday announced military back for Libya's internationally recognised government of National Accord (GNA) following a request by the war-torn country.
In a speech by Ankara on Thursday, Erdogan said he will present a bill in the Turkish Parliament in this regard, Al Jazeera reported.
"Since there is an invitation [from Libya] right now, we will accept it," Erdogan told members of his AK Party. "We will present the motion to send troops [to Libya] as soon as Parliament resumes."
"God willing, we will pass it in Parliament on January 8-9 and thus respond to an invitation" from the Tripoli-based GNA, he said.
GNA-led by Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj is engaged in a battle with Libyan National Army (LNA). Self-styled LNA led by military commander Khalifa Haftar.
Last Month, Turkish and Libyan officials, signed a memorandum of understanding on security and military cooperation.
