Aoun Meets al-Rahi: We Support Bkirki Treaty Because it Embodies Lebanon's Principles
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun announced on Sunday his support for the recently-declared Bkirki treaty, saying that he will see that it is implemented.
He said: “We want to help implement it because it embodies the principles that Lebanon was built upon.”
“These principles believe in stability and prosperity,” he remarked after holding talks at Bkirki with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi ahead of the Saint Maroun feast day mass.
He added that he will not be issuing any further statements, saying that he will make political stances after his Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting on Tuesday.
For his part, al-Rahi stressed during the mass the importance of the Bkirki treaty that was announced earlier this week.
He emphasized the need to adhere to the constitution, preserving national principles, and realizing the dangers facing Lebanon.
“Priorities should be set in order to properly tackle Lebanon's future,” he explained.
The treaty calls for holding the presidential elections on time, forming a new government, and protecting Lebanon from regional unrest.
