Paris, 27 August 2105(Lana) The UN Special Envoy o Libya Bernardino Leon has said he was optimistic about Libyan political parties readiness to agree to formation of a national unity government by mid September. In a televised interview last night, Bernardino said 'I'm still convinced that by September 10 or so, we would be able to reach a final agreement.' There are still outstanding issues for every party, but I think we have never been so close to an agreement, and it would be a tragic thing not to be able to reach an agreement as the parties positions draw closer and closer to one another, Leon said. In his response to a question whether there would be an international intervention to confront Da'esh, Leon said 'the priority now is to reach a political agreement, Libya's main weapon against Da'esh is unity.' =Lana=
