MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Haftar stressed that an episode this week in Tobruk he described as residents "chasing away" Kobler on arrival at the airport "reflect the people's position on Kobler and how he resolves the Libyan issue."
"My presence in Libya's new leadership does not depend on the views of Kobler," Haftar said. "If he wanted to meet, he could have officially addressed us and identified the issues he would like to discuss, and would have waited for a response."
