approved by parliament it's supposed to come up for a vote on wednesday to go to the north of the foreign affairs committee of parliament just this week and even after a lot happens and that agreement is ratified by a parliament then the government of national accord has once again go to send a formal request for the deployment of turkish troops and haas to go back to parliament so that the troops can get not only the approval but also among the. 4 for what they will be doing exactly in libya at once they're deployed. now turkey's president has denounced other muslim nations for not supporting his plans to resettle refugees in northern syria or egypt type out of the one says his country is under increasing pressure with 50000 people escaping from syria's
