Berri urges 'partnership' and 'acceptance of other' on Hariri anniversary

W460

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday commemorated slain ex-PM Rafik Hariri, saying his 18th assassination anniversary coincides with “critical moments in Lebanon.”

“That crime aimed at assassinating the country and its people,” Berri added in a statement.

“On his martyrdom anniversary, we are all asked to enjoy the political ethics in which the great departed believed in terms of consensus, partnership and acceptance of the other,” the Speaker urged.

“This is how we would prevent the assassination of the Taif Accord and the Lebanon which the martyr Rafik Hariri and all martyrs entrusted all Lebanese with and this is how we preserve a unified country,” Berri went on to say.

Accept our weapons or die! that's what he ordered his thugs to do when he closed the parliament for two years, bankrupting most businesses in DT Beirut. Then again he sent his mob to beat up the october revolution people, burning their tents and symbols. So much for acceptance and partnership from this CIA agent.

What will you do if France refuses to come back and resume running Lebanon?

He knows that his buddies in Hezbollah killed Hariri. He ought to be ashamed to mention this case for political purpose.
