Tripoli, July 6 (ANI): The Libyan government had denied reports that Muammar Gaddafi is considering 'stepping down' or seeking refuge 'inside or outside' the country.
"Information about negotiations about Gaddafi stepping down or seeking a safe refuge inside or outside the country is simply untrue," the China Daily quoted Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, as saying.
"Gaddafi is not negotiable, this is our position of principle, and the future of Libya will be decided by Libyans. Gadhafi is an historical symbol, and Libyans will die to defend him," he added.
Earlier, Russia's Kommersant newspaper had quoted a high-level source in the country's leadership as saying that Gaddafi was sending out signals "to relinquish power in exchange for security guarantees," but the Libyan government blatantly denied it.
The Unites States has been insisting that it is high time for the Libyan dictator to step down, but his repetitive denial to do so is leading NATO to continue with the airstrikes to silence his bloodthirsty troops.
Meanwhile, a rebel spokesman in Misrata has said that they would not compromise on letting Gaddafi remain in the country as a free man, and added that: "Any solution that doesn't include Gadhafi stepping down and facing trial or leaving Libya is unacceptable." (ANI)
