Lavrov: Libya operation possible only with UNSC approval – YouTube
Lavrov said Russia is aware of some plans for military involvement in
Libya, but insisted that those plans could be implemented only with the
permission of the UN Security Council. He noted that a possible mandate
for an operation against the terrorists in Libya must be defined
unambiguously so as not to allow QUOTE perverted and false
interpretations. Since 2014, when militias seized the capital Tripoli,
Libya has had two parallel parliaments and governments. Taking advantage
of the political chaos, the Daesh terrorist group took control of the
northern port city of Sirte in June 2015.
