Gaddafi is 'shocked by former European friends'

Jerusalem Post:

ROME - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said he felt betrayed by former European allies like Italy's Silvio Berlusconi who have turned against him and said business links with Europe risked lasting damage.

Gaddafi dismissed demands by world powers for a no-fly zone over Libya or the possibility of airstrikes, telling Tuesday's edition of the Italian daily Il Giornale that: "We will fight and win. A situation of that type will only serve to unite the Libyan people."

The Libyan leader said French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has officially recognised the rebel Libyan National Council and called for targeted airstrikes, had a "mental disorder".

In the interview, Gaddafi said the criticism of his rule from Europe, culminating in a demand by EU leaders that he leave power, had threatened ties.

"I was really shocked by the attitude of my European friends," he told the newspaper. "They have damaged and endangered a series of major accords on security that were in their interests and the economic cooperation that we had."

Asked about his relations with Berlusconi, previously his closest friend in Europe, he said: "I am so shocked, I feel betrayed, I don't even know what to say to Berlusconi."

EU leaders have slapped economic sanctions on Tripoli following the outbreak of fighting between rebel forces in the east of the country and troops loyal to Gaddafi and at a summit meeting last week demanded that he step down.
