[01] Greece recognises Libya's nat'l transitional council
(ANA-MPA) -- Greece's foreign ministry on Tuesday announced that the
country has recognised the Libyan opposition's national transitional
council as the legal representative of the Libyan people.
Foreign Minister Stavros Lambrinidis referred to a "crucial new phase
of the transitional process, for the benefit of Libya as well as the
stability in the wider region."
He added that Greece and the international (ANA-MPA) community will
continue to support this effort, "always with respect for the sovereignty
of Libya and the will of the Libyan people."
The Greek FM called for the beginning of a national dialogue within
Libya for work for the country's future and to avoid retribution and a
new round of bloodletting. (ANA-MPA)
