W460

President Michel Aoun’s adviser for Russian affairs, ex-MP Amal Abu Zeid, has held talks in Russia with Mikhail Bogdanov -- the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Presidential Special Envoy for the Middle East and Africa.

A statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry said the two men discussed the developments in the Middle East and focused on the situation in Lebanon.

“They especially discussed the importance of finishing as soon as possible the formation of a government in Lebanon led by PM-designate Najib Miqati in order to overcome the political, social and economic crisis,” the statement said.

The two men also discussed “means to boost Russian-Lebanese cooperation at the various levels, including the possibility of providing medicines and medical equipment from Russia to help treat the victims of the blast in the northern Lebanese region of Akkar.”

Aoun should understand that he's not the one to form the government; the PM designate is! The PM designate had been appointed by the parliament and he's the one to choose as he pleases the men and women who would serve with him to be successful. This issue of the president having a share is unfounded and against the law. But the president insisted on defying the law as he always did, supported by Huzbullah, a party that mortgaged Lebanon and its people against their will to Iran. Had it not been for Aoun being a doormat for Huzbullah, Lebanon would not have entered the disintegration phase, which would lead the Christians to destruction. Aoun should be deposed at any moment. But because he said he will not resign, we all hope that God takes him as he is very old and stuffs him in hell where he belongs.
