Geagea Wishes Aoun Happy Birthday, Hoping for Political Agreement before 2016
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea wished on Wednesday his rival Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun a happy birthday, hoping that tensions would be eased between the two sides.
He tweeted: “I hope that we would have reached a complete political agreement before your birthday next year.”
Aoun in turn thanked Geagea for the wishes, hoping their "agreement" will be achieved "by the end of Lent."
The MP, born on February 17, 1935, turned 80 on Tuesday.
The LF and FPM have launched in recent weeks a dialogue aimed at eliminating tensions between them.
They are hoping to eventually reach a document of principles.
The rivalry between Geagea and Aoun is one of the reasons behind the ongoing vacuum in the presidency.
