PARIS, July 20 | Wed Jul 20, 2011 3:39am EDT

PARIS, July 20 (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi could remain in Libya if he relinquished all power, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Wednesday.

Juppe, asked during an interview on LCI television whether countries involved in the Libyan crisis could consider letting Gaddafi remain as part of a way out of the crisis, replied:

"One of the scenarios effectively envisaged is that he stays in Libya on one condition which I repeat -- that he very clearly steps aside from Libyan political life." (Reporting by Brian Love; Editing by Jon Boyle)
