From terrorism to coalition and most importantly killing the Kurds

According to the Libyan National Army, Maher Mustafa Pasha is the first person responsible for sending 300 mercenaries per month from each Syrian faction under an agreement he made for a period of three months, with the Turkish intelligence service and supervised by Tarkan. Libya.
The Libyan army revealed that Ankara has clearly changed the way its advisers, including military and intelligence men, operate in Libya in recent weeks. It has adopted plans, which Tarkan has implemented with great professionalism.

The Libyan Army Intelligence revealed that Tarkan and his colleagues have never met with the militias and their leaders at one table since his arrival in Tripoli, and he manages most of the war coordination operations on the ground with radio communications and phones linked to satellites in coordination with the Turkish ambassador to Libya, Serhat Aksen.
