Aoun: Elections to Show Who Wants to Rescue Country, Who Doesn't

President Michel Aoun on Friday stressed that he will “continue to work for Lebanon’s rise from the multiple difficulties and tough circumstances that it is going through.”

“I hope the last year of my tenure will witness the beginning of real revival and recovery,” Aoun said.

Lamenting that “the harsh circumstances have stripped Independence Day of its joy,” the President stressed that “the will is present to rebuild all that has been destroyed.”

“Lebanon always seeks the best relations with the Arab countries, especially the Arab Gulf nations, and we hope to witness a swift solution for what led to a problem with them,” Aoun added, noting that “it is important to keep the interests of the Lebanese people safe from harm.”

“Despite the negative issues that we encountered, we will not despair and we will emerge stronger, and the outcome of the upcoming elections will show who wants to continue on the path of salvation and who wants to oppose that,” the President went on to say.
