Tripoli:  Libya's rival parliament is open to UN-sponsored talks to end the country's conflict if the venue of the next round is changed and certain conditions are met, a parliamentary spokesman said on Tuesday.

The UN had planned to hold a second round of talks this week with Libya's rival governments and parliaments, but no date or venue has been announced yet. On Monday, the world body said the dialogue had been complicated by new fighting of armed factions allied to both sides.

The OPEC oil producer has had two governments and assemblies when a brigade called Libya Dawn seized Tripoli in August, setting up its own parliament and prime minister in a conflict Western powers fear will tear apart the desert nation.
