Abu Dhabi: The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt have issued a joint statement rejecting the Turkish parliament's motion, allowing military intervention in Libya.
Saudi Arabia's Consultative Assembly issued the joint statement, along with the UAE's Federal National Council, Egypt's House of Representatives, and Bahrain's Shura Council, in light of recent developments witnessed within Libya.
The Quartet stressed its categorical rejection of any external interference that violates the sovereignty and independence of any Arab country by any party.
It underlined the Arab bloc's "grave concern" surrounding security challenges, external intervention, and terrorist threats experienced on Libyan soil and its neighbouring countries.
The Quartet's statement declared the categorical rejection and strong condemnation of the recent Turkish parliament decision to approve military intervention in Libya, noting that such a move violates international law and covenants, and is considered an attack on Libyan sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The joint statement called on the international community to act immediately to ensure a halt to any foreign intervention against any Arab country.
It also highlighted the importance of supporting a political solution for the security and stability of peoples and nations of the region and the world, WAM reported.
