TRIPOLI, Sept 23 (NNN-XINHUA) – Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the United States, declared support for the National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya’s UN-backed government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We fully support Libya’s NOC as the country’s sole independent, legitimate and nonpartisan oil company,” said a joint statement issued by these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Now is the time to consolidate national economic institutions, rather than break them apart. For the sake of Libya’s political and economic stability, and the well-being of all its citizens, we exclusively support the NOC and its crucial role on behalf of all Libyans,” they said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few days ago, NOC condemned attempts to divide its subsidiary company, Brega Petroleum Marketing Company (BPMC), by some of BPMC’s board members and the eastern-based army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Libya is politically divided in east and west, each of which has its own oil corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the international community only recognises the NOC of the UN-backed government, based in Tripoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eastern-based government claimed that the NOC has decreased supplies of aircraft fuel to areas controlled by the eastern-based army, in order to prevent the army from using the supplies in the current fighting against the UN-backed government, in and around the capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NOC Chairman denied reducing fuel supplies to the eastern and central regions, claiming that the fuel provided is “more than adequate for civilian purposes.”– NNN-XINHUA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
