Iran opposed to military intervention in Libya
TEHRAN, March 9 (MNA)-- On the ongoing developments in Libya and the Western governments’ attempts in the UN Security Council to enforce a no-fly zone on Libya, the Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said it would be better that the Western countries stop supporting the dictators instead of mulling military interventions in other countries.
Iran condemns use of violence against people and massacre of innocent civilians by the autocratic rulers and believes that the criminal actions in Libya should be stopped and the Libyan people’s right to determine their own fate should be respected, Mehmanparast said.
But the Western countries’ record in supporting dictators shows that their current efforts are aimed at taking advantage of the political turmoil in Libya to occupy this country on the pretext of defending the Libyans’ rights, he stated.
Iran does not approve of any kind of military intervention in Libya, he said, adding if the Westerners withdraw their support for the dictators, people themselves will determine the fate of their own countries.
