Report: Dialogue Sessions Doomed, FPM Adamant on Aoun's Presidency
As eyes gaze at Wednesday's dialogue session that is set to bring rival politicians together to discuss pressing issues, mainly the presidential deadlock, sources of the March 8 alliance have dimmed the hopes on its outcome as they say they are adamant to elect MP Michel Aoun “and no other,” or hold early parliamentary elections.
Hizbullah and the Free Patriotic Movement head to the dialogue session with a “unified stance” to either consensually elect the Change and Reform bloc chief, Aoun, as head of the state or kick off parliamentary elections that will later elect a president, well informed March 8 sources told Asharq al-Awsat daily.
The sources stressed that “any other talks on a consensual candidate other than Aoun will be strictly unacceptable by Hizbullah and the FPM.”
Speaker Nabih Berri, who also heads the AMAL movement, called for the session which is limited to Prime Minister Tammam Salam and the heads of parliamentary blocs.
Berri has reiterated that the presidential deadlock was the first item on the agenda of the dialogue, and that he would then move to another item if the rival parties failed to agree on it.
The interlocutors are expected to discuss ways to end the vacuum at Baabda Palace, the resumption of the work of parliament and the cabinet, a new electoral draft-law, legislation allowing Lebanese expats to obtain the nationality, administrative decentralization and ways to support the army and the Internal Security Forces.
Only the Lebanese Forces announced it would boycott the talks.
On the other hand, al-Akhbar daily said that head of al-Mustaqbal bloc Fouad Saniora rejects the decision of the movement’s leader, Saad Hariri, to take part in the dialogue, preferring that conditions are set beforehand mainly on the priority to elect a president before stepping in.

"well informed March 8 sources told Asharq al-Awsat daily."
LOOOL this never gets old does it? m8 secret sources just happen to tell saudi newspapers what they want to hear and what serves their propaganda. and some bums in here still fall for it?
littl reminder:
"Although published under the name of a private company, the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, the paper was founded with the approval of the Saudi royal family and government ministers, and is noted for its support of the Saudi government.[2] The newspaper is owned by Faisal bin Salman, a member of the Saudi royal family.[3]"

False. This article is dated 7 september 2015.
You will never accept to face the truth...

Of course you decide of the date...the article of yesterday contains much more than the preceding one and they are all exact...particularly on when the Caporal run away to the French Embassy...and the ones detailing the cowardness of the Caporal who never dared to go out from the shelter in Mar Cha3ya until the end of Tall Za3tar...

never saw naharnet remove a comment as rapidly as they removed the one showing that ayoub's verbal diarhea dated back to 2009 and that he had lost a defamation lawsuit for it. too harsh on the trolls is it?

General Aoun has the right idea, the people should elect the president directly. The Muslims are the majority and should have get the last say who becomes president.

Exactly! and that is how you defend and regain Christian Rights.

no need for christian rights when christians who don't agree with hezballah are all working for saudi rials. as hassan nasrallah told gebran tueni the only fair way to protect the rights of the people is under an islamic law and government.

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2015/Jun-20/303082-leaks-reveal-geagea-pleaded-saudi-for-money-to-finance-bankrupt-party.ashx
The letter, classified as “very confidential” by the ambassador, recommended providing Geagea with financial assistance since he was the “real power that could be relied on to push back Hezbollah and its allies in Lebanon.”
“In addition, he is the closest of Christian leaders to the kingdom and his positions are solid against the Syrian regime,” he said. “Above all, he expressed readiness to do what the kingdom asks him to do.”
08 September 2015, 15:18

Asiri also praised Geagea for holding a news conference in which he defended statements by the Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh, who said it was religiously legitimate to destroy churches in Kuwait because the Arab Peninsula should not see a “meeting of two religions.”

when the only reason for picking fights all the time with hezbollah is to get saudi's sympathy and funds, yes, it is.

When did this alleged geagea press conference defending the destruction of the churches happen, or is it still being prepared by otv by merging together a bunch of his speeches. Too back can't do that with phòtosho they are wwizards with it.

@Ali
-This idea is not in the Constitution,
-Beside, now it is not the best time to discuss a new one
-if you think MUSLIM and non muslim please have a thought that not all muslim are "Ali" (pro Iranian HA). Also rest assure that not all Shia support your divisive comment
- your aim could be to have your protege as president but think twice that such vote may deceive u
-as you cannot marginalized non Muslim then people should also vote for parliament speaker and PM
In summary I am open to every dialogue about all issues as far as it is civilized and not under the gunpoint.
Not surprised by this divisive idea but I am sure that not many approve it.

Are those the leaks created by the huthis using saudi letterheads taken when they hacked the foreign ministry? Are you still quoting those discredited things hahahaha poor boy.
08 September 2015, 15:54

How is it that the FMP and HA demand that Aoun be the consensual president "and no other"? Consensual is from the word "consent". To consent means to give voluntary unforced agreement. You cannot force consent, otherwise, it is not consensual, but is forced and thus not consensual.
You can't force your way to consent in any relationship, much less an election of a president. So why don't they call this what it is -- a diktat.
The HA wishes to dictate that Aoun be made President or it will bring down the State.

@humble, how exactly is iran an enemy? did they ever bomb Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, or Bahrain? Ever harm us the Shiaas in any way? your propaganda only echoes Saudi Arabia's wishes: to see us the shiaas turn our backs on our friends, masters, and leaders, those who helped us kick out the Sunni occupiers in Syria and Yemen and regain our shiaa sovereignty.
and @humble: that's your opinion, but your opinion is irrelevant here. Iran is in our homes and in our hearts, and you'll just have to live with it it.

Mowaten, don't you have a life, I mean, don't you work? I can understand if you were posting at night, fair enough, no sleep, wanna kill some time, fine, but you've been here all day ya man, unless you're working for Al Manar or OTV, you know, getting paid to propagate fake ideas or just troll everyone. Ya Mowaten, it takes resources and time as well, for a person to stay all day, thumb down and thumb up posts, good thing the Naharnet Mods are of the sleeping type, otherwise they would have deleted you for as many times as you would add dashes and dots here and there. Man 3ayb wloh.

Why do you care so much about your religion. I wish you all thought about your country, country man as much as your religion. Your are all lebanese then whatever. But first you are Lebanese. Put you your love first for God then country and lastly your religion. See how all of you will grow. You are all the same people. People of Lebanon not Saudi and not Iran. Have one army and love for your country. Try something new in Lebanon it is called TRUST.
