Hizbullah Defends Aoun ... Keen on President Seat
[An Nahar] State Minister for Administrative Development Mohammed Fneish defended Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun after the former army general slammed President Michel Suleiman.He said Hizbullah was "very keen" on the President seat. Fneish pointed out that Aoun has "self-esteem and a role." "Any stance made by him (Aoun) or any other national leader should not pass by unnoticed," Fneish said in remarks published Thursday by As-Safir newspaper. "We won't allow any (political) team to take advantage of such stances and invest them negatively or aggravate the problem under the pretext of supporting the President," he warned. Hizbullah is "keen that Suleiman and Aoun maintain a good relationship," Fneish stressed. "We will do what we can to improve this relationship," he added, noting that Aoun's remarks expressed frustration at a certain situation and demands that must be taken into account. Aoun's comments were "not directed against President of the Republic," Fneish insisted. Posted by: Fred 2010-09-10 |
