Qatar recognizes Libyan opposition
[Iran Press TV] Qatar has recognized Libya's opposition council as the legitimate representative of the North African state, says a Qatari Foreign Ministry official.
"This recognition comes from a conviction that the council has become, practically, a representative of Libya and its brotherly people," the Qatar News Agency quoted the official as saying on Monday.
The official added that the Libyan National Council included the representatives of different regions and had acceptance among the Libyan people.
The [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary General Abdulrahman al-Attiyah said the "Libyan system has lost its legitimacy."
Apart from Qatar, the bloc includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Soddy Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
