| MP Samir Al-Jisr said in a conversation to VDL radio station today, “Despite the uncomfortable atmosphere, I saw the visit of PS Berri to Baabda palace last week as a sign of the beginning of a solution. I was waiting for the end of the week for some negotiations to take place though, and they are taking place now concerningthe government and the end of this crisis will reflect positively on the security situation". However, concerning the last incidents in the Bekaa area and the attempts to involve the army in order to weaken it he said, "We need the army and we don’t want to weaken it. The Army has a security role that it should assume". |
