'Libya scenario' dangerous for region - Lavrov
11:17 13/05/2011 MOSCOW, May 13 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned on Friday of the dangers of a repetition of the fighting that has engulfed Libya in other countries in North Africa and the Middle East.
“Attempts to multiply the Libyan scenario in other countries…are extremely dangerous, be they in Yemen, Syria or Bahrain,” Lavrov told journalists.
“The situation is turbulent almost everywhere and it is necessary here to show the most responsible approach possible,” he added.
Lavrov also said the Libya contact group of Western nations involved in talks with opposition forces was “illegitimate” under international law.
