(ANSA) - Moscow, January 17 - Italy was not the one "to make
mistakes" in the Libyan crisis given that the main error dates
back to 2011, when NATO decided to bomb Libya and Italy "was not
among countries that pushed for this solution", Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday, answering a question posed
by ANSA and RAI during a press conference.
"What is necessary now is to unite the Libyans and it isn't
easy" given that eastern Libyan strongman General Khalifa Haftar
and the prime minister of the UN-backed national-unity
government, Sayez al Serraj, "can't even stay in the same room",
said Lavrov.
Lavrov is scheduled to meet with Italian Foreign Minister
Luigi Di Maio on Sunday morning ahead of a conference on Libya.
No Italian mistakes on Libya - Moscow
