KUWAIT, March 9 (KUNA) -- The Kuwaiti National Assembly (parliament) called here Wednesday on Arab countries to rescind their recognition of the incumbent regime of Libya, but hailed the "Libyan revolution".
Kuwaiti members of parliament also called on Arab governments to recognize the opposition National Council as a legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
"The Kuwaiti National Assembly lauds the revolution of the Libyan people and their pursuit of freedom and sovereignty, and mourns the death of Libyan people on the hands of gangs, security forces and mercenaries," the assembly's secretary general Allam Al-Kandari said in a release.
"It (the assembly) also calls for a withdrawal of official Arab recognition of the 'regime of killing and annihilation' in Tripoli, and recognition of National Council as a legitimate representative of the Libyan People instead," he said.
