(ANSAmed) - ROME, JANUARY 21 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella said Tuesday that ''a supplement of wisdom is needed'' to face international crises such as those in Libya, Iraq and Syria, as he visited the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, in Doha. Mattarella stressed that Italy believes in multilateralism and that it is necessary to extinguish ''hotbeds'' before they spread to the area in a world that presents ''different problems and many tensions''.
    The head of State also called for a political solution to the conflict in Libya.
    ''It is not possible to take power with arms,'' he said, stressing that Italy supports Qatar's ''wise position''. The emirate backs the government in Tripoli led by Fayez al Sarraj.
    ''We support the legitimacy of al Sarraj's government but we dialogue with everybody'', noted the president, adding that Italy backs the action of the UN and its high representative for Libya Ghassan Salamé.
    ''We must absolutely respect the 'ceasefire' and it is necessary to avoid the military presence of other countries'', the head of State also said. Mattarella said that thinking that the conflict can be solved with weapons is a ''shoddy idea''. ''It is necessary to work to give back stability and civil cohabitation to the Libyan people'', he said.(ANSAmed).
