TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's unofficial parliament is open to U.N.-sponsored talks to end the country's conflict if the venue of the next rounds is changed and certain conditions are met, a parliamentary spokesman said on Tuesday.
The U.N. had planned to hold a second round of talks this week with Libya's rival governments and parliaments, but no date has been announced yet.
Omar Hmeidan, spokesman for the General National Congress (GNC), a rival parliament based in Tripoli challenging the recognised assembly operating out of the east, said talks needed to be based on the assumption that the GNC was the legitimate body.
He also said that forces that launched an offensive on Saturday to try to take eastern oil ports were acting in the name of the GNC.
