Libyan FM urges parties to join Skhirat agreement

Libyan Foreign Minister Mohamed al Dairi called on the parties opposing the Skhirat agreement to join the national reconciliation march of their country.

He denied that the United Nations (UN) has formed the Libyan government or interfered in that regard.

In statements to el Sharq el Awsat Newspaper, al Dairi said that what was agreed about is forming a presidential council which will appoint a new cabinet within 30 days.

The decision of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) number 2259 supports Skhirat agreement, the Libyan foreign minister said, noting that there are international and Arab support for that deal which shows that the Libyan crisis will be solved.

Some armed groups in Tripoli began to understand that the situation is dangerous in the Arab country and announced that they are ready to defend the Libyan government in case it is formed, the minister underscored.
