Feb. 14 Speeches to Focus on Local, Syrian Situation
The speeches that will be made at the February 14 ceremony marking the seventh anniversary of the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri will primarily focus on local developments and then Syrian crisis, reported the daily An Nahar on Saturday.
It added that it remains to be seen which members of the Syrian National Council will give a speech at the event, which will be held at the Beirut International Exhibition and Leisure Center.
It revealed that the speech will stress the importance of respecting Lebanon’s sovereignty and independence and the need for overthrowing the Syrian regime.
The BIEL ceremony will include speeches by March 14 leaders, including ex-Premier Saad Hariri, who is most likely to address supporters, politicians and academicians through a giant screen.
Saad Hariri is recuperating at his house in Paris after suffering from fractures in his left leg during a ski accident in the French Alps.
Rafik Hariri was killed in a massive car bombing in Beirut on February 14, 2005.
