Qahwaji Says Attempts to 'Distort' Army Role Won't Succeed
Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji stressed Wednesday that certain attempts to “distort” the military institution's role “will never succeed.”
“The military institution is committed to its national role in preserving Lebanon's unity and the coexistence among its sons,” said Qahwaji as he inspected military units deployed in the southern region of al-Zahrani.
“All attempts to distort this role will never succeed,” he underlined.
Lauding the army forces' “efforts and sacrifices to maintain civil peace,” the army chief noted that “the security situation in Lebanon is the best in the region, compared to the dangerous events that are shaking many of its countries.”
“This is highlighted by the cultural and touristic activities in the country this summer, despite the continued political bickering and domestic woes,” Qahwaji added.
