End-all is coming about in Libya -- Lavrov

SAN SALVADOR, August 23 (Itar-Tass) - An end-all of the conflict is
coming about in Libya. From now on, the Transitional National Council
(TNC) and other groups will bear responsibility for what is happening in
that country, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov said here
on Tuesday.
"There is every indication that an end-all is coming about in Libya,
and power, judging from everything, is about to pass on to the rebels,"
the Minister said. "Thereby, theTNC and other groups will bear
responsibility for a further development of events". Lavrov expressed hope
that the interests of Russian citizens would be duly ensured as well.
"The new leadership will face a no easy task," Lavrov added.
"Cessation of hostilities in Libya must be immediately followed by the
start of a political (settlement) process, an immediate formation of
legitimate bodies of power, and coordination of principles for future
democracy".
"We expect that authorities there will manage to keep the situation
under control," Russia's Foreign Minister emphasized.
