In his day two of his trip to France Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said that his government has never took part in terrorist acts.

On Tuesday Gadhafi spoke in an interview in which he said that Libya wants a position in the world in which peace and cooperation prevails.

The interview was given in a tent placed in the garden of the official guest residence equipped with the latest communication devices, the Associated Press reports.

Lawmakers protested on Tuesday over Gadhafi’s visit to France when he entered in the National Assembly building, a symbol of democracy and human rights. He was received by parliamentary speaker Bernard Accoyer.

Socialist deputies and other members of the union for a Popular Movement protested and refused to take part at the assembly, AFP informs.

For 20 minutes the Socialists left the benches as a protest of the fact that they were refused to question the government regarding Gadhafi’s visit.

Later on Gadhafi denied the fact that he has discussed with President Nicolas Sarkozy the need to increase the progress in human rights.

During his interview he said: “First of all, President Sarkozy and I, we did not discuss these questions.”

On Monday Sarkozy said that he had discussed with Ghadhafi regarding the progress needed to be made in human rights.

Sarkozy is the first Western leader to receive Gadhafi after his relation with the west failed in the 1980s. He has been accused by rights groups and the political left for betraying the country’s commitment to protect human rights.

This is Ghadafi’s first visit to France in more than 30 years, since 1973.

In recent years he has been trying to repair relations with the U.S. and Europe.

Earlier this year he freed five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor after they were in prison for 8 years for allegedly infecting children with HIV/AIDS.

Ghadafi denied any accusation regarding human rights abuses in Libya and said that his country is “determined to participate in a new world of peace, liberty and cooperation among nations and civilizations.”

The warm welcome for Gadhafi was defended by the government saying that is encouraging states that depart from terrorism.

Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said: "It's not the color of the carpet that we should remember. It is the fact that we are trying to bring toward us countries which have left terrorism," responding to the statement made by Socialist Jean-Marc Ayrault who said that you don’t bring the red carpet out “to a dictator in the (symbol) of democracy.”
