MOSCOW, October 14. /TASS/. Libya has moved past the stage of large-scale war, Ali Juma Hassan Fadil, Libya's Ambassador to Iran, said in an interview with TASS, adding though that the threat of a crisis in a new form exists.
"Libya’s current state can be characterized as a state of ‘relative yet incomplete stability’. The country has moved past the stage of large-scale war of previous years. However, a final political and institutional settlement has not yet been reached. The absence of a major war itself does not imply the onset of a full-fledged peace," he said.
"Today, the Libyan issue goes beyond a single dispute that can be resolved through an agreement between two individuals or institutions. It comprises several interconnected levels: the legitimacy of institutions, the constitutional and legal framework for elections, the distribution of powers and resources, the unification of sovereign and security institutions, relations between the center and regions, and national reconciliation. Therefore, a solution limited merely to the formation of a new government, without those issues being solved, risks replicating the crisis in a different form," the diplomat explained.
