Naples / Ankara .- NATO is committed to vigorously enforcing the arms embargo on Libya, with the use of force where necessary, while also confident that the new mission ally has the inclusion of new countries to provide more ships, aircraft and submarines. "We will ensure the free movement of legitimate vessels needed by the people of Libya," said the head of the so-called 'Operation Unified Protector', the Italian Admiral Rinaldo Veri, in a press conference at NATO headquarters in Naples ( Italy).
As reported by Reuters, Libyan officials have warned of the arrival of a ship loaded with gasoline and have warned they could be bombed by the coalition. Veri has indicated that the allied force already has ships deployed in the area of responsibility and began operations yesterday, but for now, it has detected any attempt to break the embargo.
The Italian admiral said the navy is still in "phase constitution" but remarked that in a few days will have sufficient means to maintain the embargo. In this sense, explained that Italy, United Kingdom, Greece, United States, Canada, Spain and Turkey have contributed naval and "/ or air or have committed to do and has to rely on new countries join the operation.
The Italian admiral has refused to rule on whether France will join this mission ally. "The process of force generation is still ongoing. Is under development," he said, before expressing his confidence that the operation has "sufficient resources" to accomplish its mission. "Light green" TurquíaEl Turkish parliament approved on Thursday the government's decision to participate in NATO's naval operation to enforce the arms embargo on Libya adopted by the UN, as reported by local television.
Turkey, only Muslim member of NATO, has agreed to send four frigates, a submarine and a support ship to ship operation. U.S. wants to hand over command of the NATO air operation within days, but the Turkish insistence on the conditions of the operation has prevented a settlement is reached.
