2007-08-06 |
The naturalized Lebanese of Syrian descent streamed across the Masnaa border crossing to vote in the by-elections. When asked by a reporter for whom did they want to vote : They said for Nasrallah ( Hezboollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ) . But when told by the reporter Nasrallah was not running , they responded by saying they will cast their votes for Aoun. AounÂ’s candidate is Camille Khoury in the Metn region. Aoun is allied with the pro-Syrian Hezbollah militants. Tens of thousands of Syrians were naturalized by Michel Murr when he was the minister of internal affairs during the Syrian occupation. All of the naturalized Syrians were allocated to the Metn region of Michel Murr. Murr is supporting Aoun's candidate in the by-elections |
