Sources informed on the meeting that Mikati held with President Michel Aoun on Thursday meanwhile told the daily that “it turned out that there is still a desire to form a government.”
“The discussion of the previous formats will be continued: keeping the government as it is with some adjustments or adding six state ministers,” the sources added.
“This will become clear at the end of next week or at the beginning of the week that follows, after Mikati returns from his tour” abroad, the sources said.
