Shukri Ghanem: Israel is a mistake in the political geography
Libya-Israel, Politics, 9/17/2004

The Libyan foreign minister Shukri Ghanem in Vienna yesterday considered that the major superpowers use of the military force to ensure the security of its oil supplies come up with negative results because this will lead to terrorism.

Ghanem said in a seminar on oil, held by the OPEC that most of the organization's member states " have become less stable as a result of the acts of the major superpowers which deny peoples of certain oil producing countries their right to self determination and to live peacefully."

Ghanem described the establishment of the state of Israel as " a mistake in the political geography."

In remarks to the American military intervention in Iraq, Ghanem considered that the " acts have fed extremists and fundamentalists and results in the dissemination of violence." He added " it is necessary to deal with oil producing areas and the areas of pipelines as sacred places."
