Adwan Says Gaps Bridged with FPM, Accuses Hizbullah of Impeding Presidential Election
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Deputy Lebanese Forces leader and lawmaker George Adwan described on Monday the dialogue between the party and the Free Patriotic Movement as “positive,” stressing that Hizbullah's performance is thwarting the election of a new head of state.
“We have bridged the gaps and the ties are almost normal... The agreement document is almost 80 percent done,” Adwan said in an interview with An Nahar newspaper.
He revealed that the document consists of 17 articles, noting that the LF wrapped up its comments on the paper and will return it to the FPM in 48 hours.
Asked if the document will be adopted in a matter of days, the MP said that the dialogue is not “linked to any dates,” pointing out that talks about formality meetings with the FPM are “inaccurate.”
“The differences will not break the healthy relation that we are looking for with the FPM,” Adwan added.
FPM sources said in comments published in al-Liwaa newspaper that the document indicates the end of a stage and engaging in a new one, which will be crowned in a meeting between FPM chief MP Michel Aoun and LF leader Samir Geagea.
Aoun and Geagea are presidential candidates. Their rivalry and other factors have left Baabda Palace vacant sine President Michel Suleiman's term ended in May last year.
Adwan told An Nahar newspaper that the danger surrounding Lebanon prompted the dialogue between the two Christian rivals, urging for the resumption of all-party talks to safeguard the country.
“The dialogue will be permanent, continuous and unconditional,” the LF official remarked, saying that the party's sharp differences over the presidential crisis are with Hizbullah and not Aoun.
Adwan said that talks with the FPM tackled the principles of the presidential election.
“Amid Aoun's alliance with Hizbullah, there is a fundamental political rift between us,” the lawmaker said, stressing that the LF rejects the memorandum of understanding between the FPM and Hizbullah.
He considered that the memorandum disagrees with the principles of the LF.
Hizbullah and Aoun signed their memorandum of understanding in 2006 as part of their political alliance.
“We either agree to return to the state authority, which requires dialogue or head to the parliament to elect” a new president, he continued.
Adwan accused Hizbullah of obstructing the elections by insisting on pushing forward the candidacy of Aoun to the presidency, slamming statements by the party to either elect the FPM chief or elections wouldn't occur.
“If Aoun is seeking to present himself as a consensual president, then Hizbullah's method submerged this image,” he concluded.

Accept Aoun as President and accept the Resistance sacrifices for Lebanon, M14 are only obstructing themselves, by playing this game.

Aoun for president is not the problem and can be discussed. The takeover of the country by a milicia whose sole purpose in life is to be an effective card for Iran is a big problem.

You people still going on about Resistance weapons, while we have more than 3000 ISIS/Nusra at our border. Even if Lebanon was burning to ashes, by the takfiris. Then we would still hear the same quotes from you people. Pathetic indeed

Mystic, hezbos are under the command of the illuminated guy in islamic republic of iran, they combat under the flag of iISLAMIC resistance, the put banner of ya hussein on the poistion they are taking over, they are engaged in syria, irak, yemen and god knows where, they are dragging us in a conflict aging for centuries for the succession of the prophet... Those are fact, so please stop acting if they were some secular, democratic and progressive guys comming to the rescue..
They are as retarded as da3ech with a shiite flavor that's all.
This said have a god day...

Do you see the Resistance, running around beheading people in Beirut? Do you see them burning churches? No actually Geagea did so. You can be against Hezbollah sure, even against their weapons. But to write that they are equal to ISIS/Nusra is an outright lie, which everybody in Lebanon knows. Real zionist quote you got there.

Hezbollah (and not resistance) assassinated leftist leadders during the war, they comited masacres to (aklim al toufah or maybe u were to young or maybe u donnot want to see) geagea did odious things to, as well as berry, frangieh joumblat, saiid chaaban, hachem minkara(those march 8 ally in tripoli did worse tgat da3ech)... at time of war yes but keep focussing on one of them (geagea) and forgetting the others well this is not helpping..
As for now just go on utube see what hezbos theuir iraki and syrian cousins are doing there u'll find a lot of interesting stuff...
Yes mystic it is a sectarian millicia, at the command of a senile illuminated suprem leadder in islamic republic of iran, dragging banners of ya houssein; what a change from da3ech...
As for the zionist part u can put those illuminated and fanatic jews wirh hezbos, da3ech and all the other retarded of the region...
Again mystic have a nice day...

If you think I get convinced, because of random accusations then you are terribly wrong. I have heard those rants for years now. The Resistance will remain whether you like it or not. You can wither accept that, or bang your head to the wall the rest of your life.

Random accusations??? Rants???
Well u know what, u are no better than those fanatics, believing only what u want to believe, ignoring facts, indeed we are in shit, not because of all what is surrounding us but because we donnot to look at our demons...
History will only repeat itself, fanatism will creat greatter fanatism, and saddly because peolpe like u, who have access to information but prefer to see only what sana/russa today says (btw russa today has done a great documentary of how nice it is in north korea; very impartial documentary, a must see...) because people like u we'll keep living in shit, like europe in medieval ages...
Anyway hezbollah is doomed to a religious war which is raging all over the region, as for me he can go to hell, i only wish he doesnot drag us with him into it...

Imagine, forget about it. You might willingly bow down to Israel & USA. The rest of us will never do that. The Resistance is part of Lebanon, they gave Lebanon the honor it deserves, the land of Resistance. Not a land of Mcdonalds and Zionist banks.

As for the rest, i surely prefer macdonald society to a society where all women are forced to wear black sheets, where an islamic revolutionary court agrees who can present to presidential elections (remind u something), a society where twitter and social media are forbiden bc they don't go woth islamic rules, where music is forbidden, where an old senile fanatic man is telling people how to live their life in the name of god.... And u say it is better than saoudia???
U, ur likes, ur khomaini, da3ech, fanatic zionist jews...all same RETARDS; of course i would prefer a macdo...

The resistance defeated israel in beirut before hizbollah was ecen created.
Then after its creation it spent 2 years fighting amal, assassination of leftist leadders in south lebanon, kidnapping of journalists... And overall it stayed an a byproxy of iranian guards in lebanon...
I donnot contest that it played a role against israely enemy, nor that it helped us liberate the south but at what cost??? They killed all political oponents there, they even killed resistants while on operation against since the 90's, they forbided the state to go south (remember after the liberation everyone calling the army to go south was comsiderared a traitor...
At what cost, they are engaging in a holly war accrross the region and dragging us in a conflict between omar and hussein because of senile old fanatic man thousands of km away..

Spot on. You expressed my thoughts.
1- HA does not posess the monopoly of resistance in Lebanon
2- HA did its share of crimes
3- True, HA is not carrying out assassinations in lebanon nowadays. Why would it? It has taken over the country already. it is actually currently looking for "export markets", so it can build franchises of what it does abroad.
09 March 2015, 17:17

FT. I am not sure that HA was instrumental or not to do the assassinations.
What I am sure of is that its allies Assad and the gang are definitely the order givers.

What do you mean accept ? Does it mean we have no choice and that we have to obey in a dictatorship manner whatever Iran and Hizbollah imposes on the lebanese.

Such progress the LF and Tayyar Aouneh are making. It's been how many months since Sleiman left office? And these two parties are almost 80% complete on some stupid document outlining the nature of some circus that they call "talks." Why didn't these meetings take place last year, before the president left office???

You had your "democracy" with Michel Sulaiman the failure, it's our turn to have Gen. Aoun now, accept it or be without a President for years to come. It's fair this way, now we can all get along.
You will not get an anti Resistance President, get it out of your heads.
If you can't accept it, then stop saying others obstruct the elections, when you guys ought to blame yourselves.

typical hezbi answer... "accept our terms or it is chaos"...
and they dare say they are lebanese spitting on the laws and constitution... tfeh on them.
Sleiman was praised by hezbi and M8... you lot just started to smear him the day he dared voice his opinion against hezbollah... you are just a bunch of little dictators taking Lebanon hostage! that is all you are! traitors and antilebanese people...
when one wants only the army to defend this country you label him as a traitor or a zionist... see how much you care about the institutions? "only hezbollah decides of peace and war... not the army." is your motto. is that respecting the army? NO... tfeh on you

Depends on how you portray patriotism peace, bowing down to the West or Israel (In your case) Or resist the takfiris/zionist and the West (my case) stop mixing the army in these problems, the army is not going to help you achieve your goals on this. You people are on your own, and it is you people who should join the fold, not the other way around.
Peace you always write, that we are weak and we bark etc. Only one i see here barking, are your lot.
Bark with no action at all, you people have no backbone or strength, you are not popular inside Lebanon. why do you think Sulaiman left in shame? He lost his popularity ofcourse, he took Saudi dollars over his own people & country.

When has HA tried to burn churches? but you attack them for it.
yet you never worry about the people who are burning churches as we speak.
move along M14er, distortion at its best

Geagea & Judas is the same ya zalame, we can go on about this game forever. Fact is, you immigrants in the West, have no power over this, the President is for all Lebanon not just the Christians. Yes the President must be Christian by law, but that does not make him President of christians does it? Don't you have the Pope for that?
Why would I burn a Church? Azoubillah I fear God, unlike da3ish your lovers and Geagea, I do not fear some Westernized-brat on Naharnet so stop acting, you are weaklings in Lebanon we do not respect your kind, we do respect Jesus Alayhi Salam though. I love Prophet Jesus, just like all the other prophets. I do not have any sympathy for the Westernized Geagea fans like you though. In my case, this has nothing to do with religion, this is political, Resistance vs. The Western Powers whom you support.

This is a red line & we will part company if you choose to use reckless words again.

Jesus is a prophet in the Bible. Christians view him as a prophet as well, he conveyed the word of God. You believe what you want, I am not going to judge or discuss your religious faith here, that is a waste of my time.
Now why do you not accept Gen. Aoun as President? He is a Christian, and he goes to Church even more than Geagea i bet.

everyone makes a truth claim...Jesus..Mohamed..
Jesus claims to be God in Human form..Son of God.
Not a Prophet,
Mohamed who comes almost 600 years later claims to know Jesus better than Jesus himself & called him a good Prophet but surely not the son of God.
Two diff truth claims here.
Please dont enforce your biased truth claims on us here then say it is written in the bible.
The Bible clearly says Jesus is the SON OF GOD.
09 March 2015, 20:55

Prophet and son of God are not mutually exclusive. Christians believe he is both. But I guess you didn't read the Bible.

Had it been ISIS, then ee wouldn't be having a conversation right now, they would instead behead you on the spot. Geagea is closer to ISIS than anyone, he fills you with the same blind hatred and brainwash.

Maroun, he's hoping for the piece of the pie, it's actually sad yet entertaining at the same time.
