Tripoli, 09.02.2016(Lana) NSG Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ali Abuzakok held together with Minister of Health, Dr Al-Taher al-Sanusi, Deputy Minister of Interior, Salah Simno, a press conference at the government premises in Tripoli Tuesday evening. Minister Abuzakok announced at the press conference that if Qaratge airport is not reopened to Libyan aviation the Libyan government may ponder in closing the borders between the two countries on the principle of reciprocality. Abuzakok said those who perpetrate terrorism in Tunisia are Tunisians and those who perpetrate terrorism in Libya are Tunisians too, and the Tunisian authorities have not yet proved up to today even a single Libyan carrying out a terrorist act in Tunisia to be able to accuse the Libyans of the same. Abuzakok said article 15 of the Maghreb Union obliges member states to pledge not to allow any activity or organization on its soil that may encroach the security or sanctity of any state or its political system. He further elaborated on what he described as suspected meetings held in Tunis and other cities to try to destabilize security in Libya and try to find an alternative government to the National Salvation Government which he deemed a violation of the Maghreb Union agreement. Abuzakok said the NSG welcomes the coming of the AU envoy former president of Tanzania to Libya and invites him to visit Tripoli. He called for a prominent role for the African diplomacy to tackle Libyan and African issues by reviving the African five- member committee which they approved at the latest Addis Ababa conference. On recent bloody events in Kufra Abuzakok said libya will not allow its soil to be used as a springboard for oppositions of neighbouring countries underscoring the importance of the joint security committees between Libya and neighbouring countries. Abuakok said libya would use reciprocality principle vis-a-vis visas imposed on Libyans by some countries. =Lana=
