Kanaan Calls for Organizing Christian Ties, Says Aoun-Geagea Talks Soon
Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan stressed on Friday the importance of organizing the ties between Christians.
Kanaan, who is loyal to Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, said in comments to Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) that “any presidential breakthrough would resolve several political disputes.”
The lawmaker is reportedly holding talks with the media officer at the Lebanese Forces, Melhem Riachi, to prepare for the agenda of the dialogue between Aoun and LF chief Samir Geagea.
“The meeting between Aoun and Geagea will be held soon,” Kanaan said, citing progress in talks to prepare for the dialogue between the two Christian leaders.
He described the general atmosphere as “positive.”
Both Aoun and Geagea have announced their candidacies for the presidency. Their differences, in addition to the rivalry between the March 8 and 14 alliances, have left the presidential post vacant.
President Michel Suleiman's term ended in May.
