The air forces of Khalifa Haftar, who leads forces in the eastern part of the North African country, have bombed the airport of the Libyan coastal town of Misrata in a warning to Turkey against sending its troops or further supplies.
The already multi-layered conflict has been made more complex by the arrival of Russian mercenaries backing Haftar, an intervention that Serraj is highlighting to drum up support for his government from Washington.
As part of a binding between Turkey and the Tripoli government, the two sides have also drawn up a deal to carve out drilling rights in the Mediterranean with huge natural gas reserves that has infuriated the EU, in particular Greece. Athens says the exclusive economic zone agreement is illegal.
A Turkish diplomatic source who spoke to Xinhua on condition of anonymity noted that the military cooperation agreement allows the Turkish government to deploy troops in Libya, but a decision by the parliament is also needed.
"If there's a request we are legally ok to send troops, every aspect of such an assistance is currently being assessed by different state institutions," namely the military, he added.
