| EU Envoy Tells Suleiman Decision on Hizbullah Doesn't Affect Financial Support to Lebanon |
| 2013-07-23 |
| [AnNahar] Ambassador Angelina Eichhorst, Head of the Delegation of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... to Leb, held talks Monday evening with President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... , following the decision taken by the EU to blacklist the military wing of Hizbullah. "The EU is sending an important political message: acts of terrorism are unacceptable irrespective of the perpetrators," Eichhorst said, according to a blurb issued by the EU delegation. She added that this decision "does not prevent the continuation of dialogue with all political parties in Leb and will not affect the EU's financial support to Leb including humanitarian assistance," noting that "it will be reviewed on a six monthly basis." Eichhorst reiterated the European Union's "commitment to support President Suleiman's call on the politicians to reconvene the National Dialogue and to discuss a national defense strategy." The EU "also supports the efforts of Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam to form a new government," Eichhorst added. |
