“If Libya could become the second Syria, then, I think, the Libyan people would be the winner. So far, unfortunately, Libya is not a country that has statehood. Libyan statehood was bombed by NATO in 2011, and we are still reaping the consequences of this adventure, a criminal illegal adventure, above all, of course, the Libyan people, ”Lavrov said, answering a question from a RT correspondent.

According to him, all efforts are aimed at ensuring that the parties to the Libyan conflict begin to agree, and not solve problems by force.

Earlier it was reported that the head of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Marshal Khalifa Haftar, left Moscow without signing a ceasefire agreement with the Libyan Government of National Accord (PNS), led by Faiz Saraj.
