Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday evening arrived in Algeria for a two-day visit to discuss the developments in Libya, the official Algeria Press Service (APS) reported.
The Turkish foreign minister was welcomed by his Algerian counterpart Sabri Boukadoum at the airport, APS said.
Turkey has decided to send troops to Libya, a neighbor of Algeria, in response to the distress call of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) which is fighting fierce battles in and around the capital Tripoli with the east-based army led by Khalifa Haftar who vowed to “liberate the capital Tripoli” from the control of the GNA.
Encouraging the UN-backed political process in Libya, Algeria has repeatedly voiced its readiness to do everything possible except military intervention to restore peace and security in the war-torn country.
