Maronite Summit in Bkirki to Discuss Impact of Regional Situation
Lebanon’s top Maronite leaders are expected to discuss the repercussions of the region’s upheaval on Lebanon in a meeting scheduled to be held in Bkirki on Friday, An Nahar daily reported Tuesday.
According to the newspaper, the dangerous situation in southern Lebanon would be at the top of issues to be discussed by Phalange leader Amin Gemayel, Free Patriotic Movement chief Michel Aoun, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and Marada movement’s head Suleiman Franjieh.
Several Maronite MPs and bishops will also attend the meeting that will be headed by Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, it said.
The conferees will discuss the revolutions in the Arab world, mainly the Syrian crisis, and their effects on Lebanon, An Nahar added.
But Ad-Diyar newspaper reported that al-Rahi will also invite President Michel Suleiman for the Maronite meeting that will be held next week and not on Friday as An Nahar said.
Al-Rahi will throw a lunch banquet in the honor of the officials and members of the Maronite Bishops Council, it said.
