Aoun Stresses Importance of 'Understanding among All Parties' to Elect President
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Michel Aoun underlined Friday the importance of “understanding” among all the parties to elect a new president, noting that the FPM-Hizbullah memorandum of understanding that was signed nine years ago protected Lebanon more than once.
Asked whether electing a new president needs an understanding during a phone interview on OTV, Aoun said, “Yes, a new agreement is needed among all the parties.”
Earlier on Friday, a delegation from Hizbullah held talks with Aoun to mark the ninth anniversary of the signing of the MoU between the two sides, with the party emphasizing the importance of dialogue in easing tensions in Lebanon.
Aoun and Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah signed the MoU on February 6, 2006 and one of its articles was that “national dialogue is the only way to find solutions for the crises that are hitting Lebanon.”
The FPM leader reminded Friday that the “solidarity between the two Lebanese parties achieved major accomplishments and rescued Lebanon during security crises.”
"We're relieved by the things that were achieved through the MoU with Hizbullah. Lebanon has passed through very tough junctures, and had it not been for the MoU, entire Lebanon would have been destabilized,” he added.
He also said that “the events in Syria made the MoU and the solidarity between the two parties stronger.”
Aoun stated his support for Hizbullah in its fight in Syria against the armed groups, even though he previously criticized it.
When asked if he urges the other parties to join the MoU, Aoun replied: “I think that if they wanted to objectively discuss the results of the MoU, they can join it, because it went beyond the trust built between the two parties and exceeded its own content to a stronger and firmer one.”
"If all of us have national consensus over a unified vision, Lebanon would be much stronger and the results would be better,” he added.

That MoU you signed 9 years ago protected yourself, dear. By the way, remember that weapons clause? How's that coming along?
That said, that MoU was probably the smartest move you've done in those 9 long years.

- No you crook, the solidarity between a traitor and a terrorist militia has bastardised the state institutions and brought more security problems to Lebanon.

- I see, so the entire country hasn't been destabilised for the sat 10 years? The assassinations, the 2006-2008 protests, 7 Ayyar, toppling Hariri's government, Tripoli clashes, Sidon clashes between LAF and Assir, the bombs in Dahye, the takfiri invasion of Beqaa... Yeah Jeddo, your MoU has kept Lebanon stable...tfeh 3lek

If the culture of lying had a face, then Aoun's would be it. What damn nonsense is this old man talking about but trying to deceive the entire world. If Aoun has at least one ball under his belly, he would stand in public and say he wants nothing to do with the presidency, the next day we will have us a new president. But this old man wants the seat at all cost and as he proved before, even if that meant killing his own family to get it. Hezbollah want a stooge, and Aoun is more than ready to add a bigger knob to his clown attire. Liar.

It's good to know that you always wait 12 hours after we last comment before you sneak in lame jokes about us. We're always watching you Flamey.
How come you have nothing to say about the article? Are you actually agreeing that the MoU is the reason Lebanon is unstable?? Or the general still the saviour...
