"Through the group called Wagner, they are exactly working as mercenaries for Haftar in Libya. You know who is paying for them," Erdogan was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

He added, "That is the truth, and it would not be right for us to remain silent about all this. We have done everything we can so far, and we will continue to do so."

This comes after Russia expressed its concern about bringing Turkish soldiers to Libya, which could lead to a deterioration in the relationship between Moscow and Ankara.

This war of words between the two parties coincides with the escalation of tension between the United States of America and Turkey.
