Al Azhar's Senior Scholars Authority on Turkish interference in Libya: spills more blood

CAIRO - 4 January 2020: Al Azhar's Senior Scholars Authority (SSA) held an emergency meeting on Saturday, during which it condemned foreign interference on Libyan territories, describing it as “corruption that would further complicate the situation in Libya, spill more blood and kill innocent lives.”

The authority also called upon international institutions to shoulder responsibility of maintaining international peace and security, and to prevent this interference before it takes place.

In its statement, the authority also rejected the guardianship concept claimed by some regional countries, as a pretext to violate other countries’ sovereignty.
