Speaking at the inauguration ceremony for the MIT’s new headquarters, Erdoğan noted that since the start of the Syrian civil war, Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) has played a major role in the success of the nation’s cross-border operations.

"The role of national intelligence in solving the murder of [Saudi journalist Jamal] Khashoggi was outstanding and made our country proud at the international level," he added.

Erdogan also said that Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization is thoroughly fulfilling its duties in Libya.

In January 2, 2020, Grand National Assembly of Turkey passed a one year mandate in order to deploy troops in Libya. Per 5 January, Turkey started to deploy troops in Libya.
