Aoun expressed 'major dismay' in meeting with Hezbollah

The latest meeting between ex-president Michel Aoun and a Hezbollah delegation was “cordial” but the former president voiced major dismay at Hezbollah during it, sources that took part in the meeting said.

Aoun demonstrated the six years that he spent as president and lamented that his tenure “was met with nothing but obstruction,” the sources told ad-Diyar newspaper in remarks published Friday.

“Hezbollah responded to Aoun’s admonishment by speaking about the nature of the Lebanese system and the imposed political equations, which obligate Hezbollah” to take certain stances in certain issues, the sources added.

The sources also said that the meeting did not tackle the presidential file and that Hezbollah did not ask Aoun to mediate with Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil.
