Aoun: Policy Statement Will Be Finalized this Week, Including STL Clause
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stated on Tuesday that the committee drafting a government policy statement will likely complete its work this week.
He revealed after the Change and Reform’s weekly meeting: “It will be finalized this week and the clause on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will be the final issue of discussion.”
On some MPs’ statements that failing to address the tribunal in the policy statement would be a crime, he responded: “The existence of the March 14 camp was a crime against Lebanon.”
“We will soon inform them of their crimes,” he added.
Aoun asked: “Will the STL’s functioning cease if the policy statement did not address it?”
“The indictment will not affect anything in Lebanon,” he stressed.
The ongoing debate over the policy statement has not yet created animosity, as the differences in opinion will only improve the statement, the MP noted.
Addressing the developments in Syria, he said that the situation appears to be heading towards a resolution, hoping that this will mark an end to the country’s unrest.
