Aoun: No Domestic Threat, President Powers Practiced Fully
President Michel Aoun reassured Friday that the situations in Lebanon have become “very acceptable” following the “acute divisions” that preceded his election as president.
“This has preserved Lebanon against all the threats that were surrounding it, because the rift remained at the political level,” Aoun told a delegation from the Maronite League led by its newly-elected president ex-MP Naamatallah Abi Nasr.
“Do not fear for national unity and we are not facing a domestic threat. The threats come from the outside but (U.N. Security Council) Resolution 1701 is reining them in,” the president added.
Aoun also told that delegation that the president's powers are “preserved” and that he is practicing them “to the fullest extent.”
