Hariri Hails Bkirki Treaty: It Must Serve as Roadmap for Rise of the State
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri praised on Wednesday the Bkirki Treaty that was announced by Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, saying that it represents a “true Lebanese vision of coexistence” in Lebanon.
He said in a statement: “The treaty should serve as a roadmap for the rise of the state.”
It must also pave the way for fortifying national unity and supporting legitimate state institutions, he added.
Hariri said that the treaty should also end the “political and security deterioration in the country.”
“The Mustaqbal Movement will strongly support the national principles voiced in the treaty, which has become a necessity to protect Lebanon and restore the role of its state institutions,” he remarked.
Al-Rahi had unveiled earlier on Wednesday the treaty which calls for holding the presidential elections on time.
It also demanded that political powers adhere to the country's national pact and place national interests above personal ones.
