Aoun: I Reject Anything Leading to Conflict, Even if This Rejection Cost Me Presidency

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Wednesday announced that he is against “anything that might lead to a Lebanese-Lebanese conflict” even if that prevented him from being elected as president, calling on all gunmen to withdraw from Syria.

“I reject anything that might lead to a Lebanese-Lebanese conflict, even if this rejection cost me the presidency,” Aoun said in an interview on Al-Arabiya television.

And as he noted that the alliances he made after returning to Lebanon from his French exile were “necessary to guarantee Lebanon's stability,” the FPM leader pointed out that he had paid a price over his alliance with Hizbullah, “especially in the issue of presidency.”

“I stood by (Progressive Socialist Party leader MP) Walid Jumblat and (MP) Marwan Hamadeh in the face of Syria when they were summoned (for interrogation by Damascus) and I stood by Hizbullah in the face of Israel,” Aoun added.

Turning to the issue of the Syrian crisis, Aoun called for “the withdrawal of all gunmen from Syria, especially Arabs, at least out of respect for the Arab League's charter.”

Well at least he's now calling for the withdrawal of "all" gunmen from Syria, which presumably includes Hezbollah. Fi ta7ason.

For the record I am neither M14 or M8. Actually I put down both as they are both to be blamed for Lebanon's slide into the abyss
I am simply Lebanese wishing to see unity peace and prosperity coming back to the country

How adorable, he actually thought he had a chance to become president! and look at his patriotic move, he is willing to let go of his long life dream for the sake of Lebanon ... awwwww!
He realized that he could make more money while out of Baabda than being inside Baabda ... say it as it is for once.

Maybe you should stop slandering all the time and calling people names in almost every single post? Why don't you try it for once lol.

An attentiongrabbing dialogue is worth comment. I believe that you must write extra on this subject, it won't be a taboo topic but typically persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers fecdfffdccfeddcf
