| Hamadeh: Aoun found his negotiating terms in Assad's pocket |
| 2007-12-18 |
| Lebanon’s Communications Minister MP Marwan Hamadeh responded to Aoun’s statement that his negotiating terms are in a document which is inside his pocket , by saying : "These terms already exist in the pocket of Syrian President Basher al Assad and it is regrettable that Aoun found them ( the terms ) there ." Hamadeh ridiculed today’s parliament session which was intended to be the ninth planned session for electing a president . Hemadeh told Qatari satellite Channel “ the parliament session today turned into a math test “ and accused the opposition of “fostering and relaying the Syrian conditions “, insisting that the formation of a new government is the primary responsibility of the new president and the new prime minister. In an interview with the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation ( LBC) , Hamadeh said that "the sole reason for the presence of the March 14 MPs at the parliament today was only the election of the President of the Republic", and pointed out that "there were positive signals, but as usual once we evaluate these signals carefully we find them to be negative. Hamadeh stressed that the " March 14 majority alliance will assume its responsibility if this situation continues and will not sit and wait for Bashar Assad to make up its mind on his next move ". Hemadeh added “ the majority is committed to getting Lebanon out of this presidential void at any price “ |
