22 July 2014, 17:08 Aoun: Hariri did not propose anything against us, that's why we don't believe that our proposal is targeted against anyone.

22 July 2014, 17:05 Aoun: How would the popular election of a president breach the Taef Accord? How would the Orthodox Gathering electoral law violate Taef, knowing that it respects the stipulations of the National Pact?
22 July 2014, 17:04 Aoun: The mechanism of the proposed law would secure the representation of all minorities of all sects, as there are Christian as well as Muslim minorities that are being deprived of representation under the current laws. The Orthodox Gathering law does not encroach on the rights of any other sect, and through this justice, national unity and coexistence would be preserved. At that point, no one would feel that someone else is trying to dominate them through stripping them of their (political) representation.
