(MENAFN- QNA) The UN negotiator assigned to lead a new round of peace talks in Libya has called for the parties to take advantage of a unique opportunity to unify their country.
Bernardino Leon, speaking in the Moroccan village of Skhirat, said the participants in the talks have a chance to prevent their country falling into an endless cycle of violence.
"The eyes of the Libyan people are on you, full of expectations and full of hope that your words and deeds will silence the guns," Bernardino said.
He hopes for an agreement to end the conflict in the country before Ramadan begins on June 17.
The participants in the talks in Morocco are representatives of the rival parliaments in Libya. One is the internationally recognized parliament in Tobruk and the other is a house of representatives in Tripoli.
The goal of the talks is the formation of a government of national unity that would lead Libya out of the crisis of the political conflict.
