FM: Georgia supports Libya's transitional government

Georgia welcomes the fact that the Libyan people's struggle for freedom has entered its decisive stage in the last few days, the Georgian Foreign Ministry says in its statement.

"It is to be hoped that the Libyan people will soon be given a chance to uphold their rights and express their free will throughout their own country," the statement reads.

The Georgian Foreign Ministry supports the efforts undertaken by the Transitional National Council of Libya towards ensuring order and stability in the country, as well as those undertaken by the North-Atlantic Alliance towards protecting the peaceful population from their dictator, Gaddafi.

"Georgia itself has experienced the destructive force of war and internal conflicts, and is very aware of the price of peace and democracy. The Georgian government hopes that a peaceful and democratic Libya will soon overcome the challenges it faces and that it will succeed in building a new Libyan state which will occupy its rightful place in the international community. The recent developments in Libya should serve as an example to all dictators in the world of the fact that force and threats cannot contain the free will of a people," the statement reads.
