Libya’s parliament voted against two agreements on military and security cooperation and maritime borders signed between the UN-backed government and Turkey, which would allow Ankara to send troops to Libya.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed the deal with Fayez Serraj, the head of the Government of National Accord, on Nov. 27 in Istanbul.
