Islam Times - Tunisian Parliament Examines Military Intervention in Libya

Islam Times - A committee in the Tunisian Parliament invited the Acting Minister of the Interior and the Acting Minister of Defense to a hearing on the situation in Libya and Tunisia's position on military intervention in this neighboring country.

The head of the parliament’s security and defense committee, Imad Al-Khumairi, told reporters in parliament today that the hearing for the two ministers will be on February 3.

Tunisia, which was absent from the Berlin conference on the Libyan crisis, announced earlier that it would not allow any military intervention in Libya from its lands, fields or maritime.

This position was issued following the controversy that accompanied Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Tunisia on an unannounced visit a month ago, which raised speculation about a possible military intervention in Libya.
