Kobler Says UN-Sponsored Agreement Basis for Ending Conflict in Libya.

Tripoli, 8 December 2015(Lana) The UN Special Envoy to Libya Martin Kobler has asserted that the UN-Backed agreement to end the conflict in Libya should be a basis for ending the conflict in the country despite the signing in Tunisia of a declaration of principles to end the political crisis in Libya. In press statements published on UNSMIL website on Monday, Kobler said the Libyan political agreement was the basis for ending the conflict in the country since it was negotiated by the UN and was backed by a majority of members of the House of Representatives and the General National Congress. Kobler urged Libyans and indeed those opposed to the agreement to reconsider their position, saying it would pave the way for reunification of the country and combating terrorism and addressing the deteriorating economic situation. Kobler's statements followed a 3 point declaration of principles signed by delegates from the House of Representatives and the General National Congress to end the political crisis in the country. =Lana=
