Al-Qirbi denies media reports on power's transfer on Saturday

SANA'A, March 26 (Saba) - Caretaker Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi denied on Saturday media reports attributed to him on reaching a deal on a transition of power today [Saturday].

"My statement to Reuters was reported partly and inaccurately, al-Qirbi told Saba.

I have said, in an interview with Reuters, that I pin hopes on coming to an agreement on transition of power today before tomorrow based on the five points the Joint Meeting Parties (JMPs) have previously offered and the President Ali Abdullah Saleh has announced his approval to, the Caretaker Foreign Minister said.
