Turkish delegation to #Tripoli headed by the Foreign Minister & including the defense, energy, and trade ministers arrived in the capital today to sign a number of agreements with the GNU. The visit & deals to be signed come at a critical time & will be viewed as an escalation.
1- The Turkish delegation will sign MoUs with the GNU in the energy sector for exploration in the disputed maritime EEZ, as well as, MoUs in trade, media/communication & military training.
2- #Turkey is doing with the GNU exactly what it did with the GNA, exploiting their weakness and vulnerability to #Turkey's advantage by imposing deals/agreements that benefit #Turkey's geopolitical/economic interests.
3- The comments by the GNU's oil and gas minister Mohamed Aoun are a clear sign that #Turkey is proposing unfavorable terms for #Libya in those agreements/deals it aims to push through with al-Dabiaba. 
4- This move by #Turkey will be viewed and treated as an escalation on the part of various foreign stakeholders involved in #Libya. In particular, #Egypt, #Greece, and #France. The GNU/Dabaiba hope that #Turkey will help defend them & prolong their time in power.
5- Domestically, the deals expected to be signed by the Turkish delegation with the GNU will draw opposition & potential action from Libyan stakeholders & their support bases. #Libya
