Abusahmain speaks at the 75th anniversary of the Libyan army.

Tripoli, 13.08.2015(Lana) President of the GNC, Nuri Abusahmain, praised Thursday the Libyan army on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the army. " When we celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the army we celebrate the past, present and the future, without an organized military institution we cannot build a homeland. Without an army we cannot realize dreams, aspirations and hopes, without security institutions, police and army we cannot prevent foreign intervention" he said. He said when we resolved in the holy month of Ramadan to activate and rebuild the army institution we formed 11 brigades and now the number has risen to 13 brigades with the participation of all Libyan regions. Abusahmain said coup plotter wanted partition of the country using Cyrenaica as a theme for separatism but the heroes of Cyrenaica both officers, soldiers and revolutionaries rejected separatism and vowed to be part of these brigades. "We formed three brigades, one in Tobrouk, another brigade in Green Mountain and one in Benghazi. Abusahmain also stressed that he made it clear to the UN and world leaders that dialogue is the strategic option and that a military solution is not acceptable in Libya. He said after 17th February we wanted to build state institutions but he said regrettably coup plotters and some former regime followers wanted it a coup on the principles of 17th February revolution. Abusahmain said these symbolic units of the armed forces parading today would secure any next future consensus government and any political body to be produced. He said as the supreme commander of the Libyan army according to the constitutional declaration we will not allow the allegiance of the army to be to an individual, leader or party or bloc, tribe or city. He also stressed to protect the rights of members of the Libyan army before any new agreement, such as their salaries be improved, their health and work conditions. He said he is about to enact laws in this respect. Abusahmain said we Libyans should stand in one rank against terrorism, extremism, illegal immigration and illegal expenditure and squandering of Libyan money and against those who may terrorize civilians. He also criticized Tunisian authorities for dubbing Libya as safe haven for terrorism and a source of terrorism saying they should reconsider their calculations.. =Lana=
