BRUSSELS. February 25. KAZINFORM NATO will convene an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss unfolding situations in Libya; Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who is in Hungary to attend an informal meeting of EU defense ministers, called for an emergency session on Libya.
"The situation in Libya is of great concern. NATO can act as an enabler and coordinator if and when member states will take action," he said in Godollo, a town near Budapest.
But any intervention must be based on a United Nations mandate, he added; Kazinform cites Xinhua.
