Press statement on content of British Times interview of head of GNS.

Tripoli, 05.02.2015(Lana) Information Department of the Government of National Salvation (GNS) released a press statement on the content of the British times newspaper interview with the head of GNS. The statement said the content of the interview was consistent with the logical analysis and an account of developments from the beginning of Libya Dawn Operations up to the minute. Mr. Omar Hassi pointed out that the General Staff is subordinated to the GNC from which it gets its instructions directly, and it is not subordinated to the Ministry of Defense, the statement explained. The GNC is the body that declared state of alert when operation started, and therefore, the Government of National Salvation has no competence to declare war or peace or halt the advance of forces of general staff, it added. The statement underscored that the GNS considers that cutting that part of the interview and airing it on one of the channels was to undermine the growing satisfaction of the Libyan street especially revolutionaries with the performance of GNS. The Information Department underlined at the end of its statement; " As we release this statement, we confirm that both head and members of GNS are navigating with Libya's revolutionaries and free people on the same boat to cruise Libya into the safe shores and the heroic revolutionaries of Libya are the safety valve of the country, and its sun that lights the years of darkness, injustices and tyrannies, and that the government, its policies, plans and programmers are geared to serve the homeland, support its revolution and revolutionaries until victory and enduring peace is attained" =Lana=
