The Tripoli-based House of Representatives (HoR) has considered the actions of the Cyprus Parliament's head and his interference in the Libyan affairs as an infringement on the sovereignty and independence of Libya, in flagrant violation of international law.

In a statement Saturday, the HoR called on the government to take an appropriate response on the intervention of the Cypriot Parliament, granting it all legal powers, including severance of diplomatic ties and withdrawing Libyan investments and deposits in Cyprus.

"The actions of Aqilah Saleh, including his impersonating as speaker of Libyan parliament -which he no longer has- would undermine the wealth and sovereignty of Libya," the HoR stated.
