Phalange Party MP Sami Gemayel held talks on Wednesday with Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh “as part of a follow up to Bkirki’s Christian meeting that was held on Tuesday.

Gemayel said: “We are continuing Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi’s initiative.”

“We hope that contacts among the Lebanese and Christian leaders would persist in order to reach common ground,” he added.

Upon reaching an agreement on affairs of joint interest among Christians, then the issues of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and Hizbullah’s possession of arms can be addressed.

“Yesterday’s meeting broke the ice and the leaders put behind them the disputes of the past,” Gemayel stated.

He stressed: “We will not back down from Christian-Christian reconciliation.”

The Christian meeting that was held at Bkirki on Tuesday brought together Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, and Marada leader Franjieh under Patriarch al-Rahi’s sponsorship.
