Turkey was scheduled to send a bill to parliament on Monday to allow it to deploy troops in Libya, as the conflict there intensifies.
Turkey is allied with Libya’s UN-backed government, which is based in the capital, Tripoli.
The move, which comes earlier than expected, marks an acceleration of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plans.
The Libyan government has been fighting an insurgency by forces under Gen Khalifa Haftar based in eastern Libya.
The Tripoli-based government receives aid from Turkey, Qatar and Italy.
Last week, President Erdogan said his government would seek parliamentary approval to deploy troops to Libya after the Government of National Accord (GNA) requested support.
But it is not yet clear when the law will be voted on. It is expected to be passed as Mr Erdogan’s ruling party is thought to have majority support in parliament to have the motion approved.
