Suleiman: Policy of Disassociation Requires All Parties' Commitment
President Michel Suleiman stressed on Friday the need to maintain political rhetoric in Lebanon within democratic practices and national principles in accordance with the Baabda Declaration.
He said: “Lebanon's commitment to disassociate itself from the disputes of others requires the commitment of all of its Lebanese players.”
Suleiman said that all sides must commit to the Baabda Declaration, most notably the article calling for political and media calm.
“They must place Lebanon's interests above all else,” remarked the president.
The Baabda Declaration was reached during the first national dialogue session that was held in June after a 19-month absence.
The Baabda Declaration, issued on June 11, calls for political and media calm in Lebanon, supporting the army, and keeping Lebanon away from regional and international disputes.
