Bassil: President election shouldn't be linked to events in region
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Tuesday called on the Lebanese to agree on a new president and "distance Lebanon from wars and conflicts."
"We have started political efforts from Dar al-Fatwa and we're concerned with talking to everyone," Bassil said after meeting with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan.
“We hope war won’t renew and there should be a president and a government to secure the country’s salvation,” the FPM chief added.
Moreover, he said that the presidential vote is a “Lebanese juncture” and that “the agreement on the president should be reached by the Lebanese.”
“We should not link this juncture to the events in the region,” Bassil stressed.
