Aoun: Armed Groups Committing Terrorism in Syria, Not the State

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun demanded on Tuesday the Syrian people to return to their senses, calling on them “resort to the ballot boxes instead of resorting to murder and massacres” in dealing with its internal affairs.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “The terrorism is being committed by the (armed) organizations and not the state as they are saying.”

He added that Syria is being pressured to sever its ties with Iran, Hizbullah, and Hamas and launch negotiations with Syria and not introduce reform.

“I don’t think Syria has harmed anyone on the Turkish border or any of the Arab forces,” Aoun continued.

“Whoever goes to Syria sees that it is calm, but there are a few problems,” he said.

In addition, the FPM leader stated that all of the wars the United States is waging will not result in the establishment of a pro-American government in the Middle East.

On Lebanon informing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon that it has failed in detaining suspects in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, he said: “The names of the suspects have been known for a year and of course the suspects have fled.”

It is time to admit the obvious fact that Aoun's mind is similar to Kadafi and Assad, it is a criminal mind disguised as a statement trying to reform and protect. Aoun never hesitated destroying his country and endangering the future of Christians in Lebanon and the region to satisfy his personal ambitions. Freedom and democracy will not survive under a Lebanon already being transformed into a police state like in Syria and Iran. Aoun has delivered Lebanon to the Basij and distance it from the civilized world. There will only be justice the day he stands in a cage in court facing justice in a public televised trial.

Default-user-icon Gebran Sons for Cedar Revolution II in 2013 (Guest) 09 August 2011, 19:31

Aoun views on Assad and tyranny are not surprising. He is a serious danger to freedom and democracy, risking Christian survivability in Lebanon and the region. The damage from his premeditated actions will take generations to fix. In the last elections the majority of Christians voted against Aoun's party, and today there is no doubt Aoun is the most hated person among Christians. His ego has been inflated by Hizb arms playing on his mental instability and known obsessions to destroy Lebanon's freedom and liberal democracy that have distinguished Lebanon for generations. He has managed in few years to split Christians, justify Hizbollah's wars and takeover of Lebanon, resurrect Assad's hegemony in Lebanon, and is the king of corruption and nepotism using influence peddling to achieve his objectives. All civilized nations have recognized political influence peddling as the worst form of corruption. When would Lebanese realize the same?

Did he really just label all of the Syrian population as terrorists? This is literally the most opposite he can ever be to his positions back when he was in March 14 and in exile.

First he supports Hizb Allah who he repeatedly called for disarming before from Paris and now he supports the Syrian government over the civilian population when they were his number one enemy before.

How much money is he getting paid? He's probably betting that he'll become president of Lebanon one day with Assad's help. It won't help of Assad no longer remains in power when Suleiman's term is up...

So I guess the Aouni protesters back in the day were terrorists too

This is hilarious the leader of the CHANGE & REFORM party is accusing the syrian people of terrorism against the state that has terrorized it's people for decades.....
This is yet more proof that GMO has lost the plot. I'm guessing he forgot that the syrian people went to the street in peaceful demonstrations and they were being murdered by the regime for expressing themselves. Is this where he is taking lebanon?!?

Since when did any of you care about the syrian people? Every week syrians are beaten/stabbed or otherwise abused in lebanon. Who cares? March14? No. March8? No. So stop pretending to care. And stop bringing up the crimes by the al asad regimes in lebnanon unless u remember ur own crimes against both syrians and ur own people. And stop pretending to care about syrians. March14 only wants to get revenge at assad but they are to afraid to do it themselves so they support the legitimate right of syrians to protest and march8 only care about protecting their seats in the government just like rafik hariri was allied with the hafez al asad regime for the sake of power. All of you are low. Its a lebanese syndrome i guess.

And I suppose that the Aouni who were beaten in Lebanon in 2000-2001 by Syrian mukabarat and their counterparts in the Lebanese state security system, I suppose they were terrorists too and had taken leave of their senses as have the Syrian people 10 years later.

How about it ya Aouni? Those of you who felt the oppression of the Syrian boot on your necks as you protested for Lebanese nationalism and independence, as you petitioned for the return of your champion for Lebanese independence, General Michel Aoun, how does it feel to find out that he has joined ranks with the oppressors? How does it feel ya Aouni to have betrayed all that you believe in? How does it feel to have bled for a cause and for a leader only to have that leader close ranks with the one who oppressed you and made you bleed?

How does it feel?

Default-user-icon Gebran Sons for Cedar Revolution II in 2013 (Guest) 09 August 2011, 22:42

Joni you are wrong. Gebran Sons for years have stated that in a democratic post-Assad Syria, Lebanon and Syria should be united with a EU-type agreement like any two European nations with open borders and integrated economies. Our primary protection should be a transparent and accountable democracy and merit-based society with leaders elected to serve not to be served. I never had any doubt that freedom and democracy will win at the end in Syria, even in Iran, with Green Revolution II in 2013. The Basij and Mukhabarat have controlled Iran, Syria and Lebanon by brute force, but this will soon be over as all tyrants will be deposed.

Nothing is happening in syria, everything is all right! you guys are being fooled by zionist medias! there is just a small group of retarded terrorists that are killing innocent people, but the syrian army is doing everything to rescue the poor innocent people, and specially Maher Al Assad's brigade (just like khamis brigade, these soldiers are angels of freedom!).
people and children we see dying on tv are part of these syrian terrorist organisations ! and in case some are not affiliated with terrorists,they should certainly be victims of that terrorism ! logical ! isn't it ? Syrian Regime is the only protector!
actually that's not my point of view, but it seem that it is what Aoun has understood concerning the situation in Syria. Let's pray for that man...and specially for the people following that man..

To Mr. Aoun and his empty skunk Followers....
Not long ago... Back in the years, You stood up one day and decided to fight The Syrian regime with a Fork and Knife and to break Assad's head. We Got into a war with the regime that was occupying Our Country and that regime that is the same one up till now killing innocent people. is the SAME regime that killed innocent Lebanese people and killed God knows how many lLebanese sorldiers that served under ur command as well... And now that U came back from Your exile and started tha ass licking... You got 2 this point of shame to defend this regime? Have U no shame at all? Are Your Followers SO DUMM??? Let them go back to elections and not killing? What the heck happened the ppl that employed You to bark on their behalf... The Hizbollah! Why dont they go by the book and not by guns and killings aswell.. You are a Disgrace to Christians and to Lebanon.!
