| 2009-07-07 |
| Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun on Monday expressed regret that the formation of a national unity government has shifted from and internal to an external role. "The general scene is negative. There is no role for the Lebanese people in the formation of their government," Aoun said in an interview on Al-Manar TV. "Where are those who claimed to be keen on sovereignty and independence?" he asked. "We tell the Arabs that it's fine if they had a role in (efforts) to create a government," Aoun said. "But having a government set up by the Arabs is not desirable." "We are the axis of evil as they claim. We demand Lebanon's soverienty and independence," he added. "We demand that (Cabinet) formation be made in Lebanon. No one can marginalize us." |
