Berri urges 'partnership' and 'acceptance of other' on Hariri anniversary

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday commemorated slain ex-PM Rafik Hariri, saying his 18th assassination anniversary coincides with “critical moments in Lebanon.”

“That crime aimed at assassinating the country and its people,” Berri added in a statement.

“On his martyrdom anniversary, we are all asked to enjoy the political ethics in which the great departed believed in terms of consensus, partnership and acceptance of the other,” the Speaker urged.

“This is how we would prevent the assassination of the Taif Accord and the Lebanon which the martyr Rafik Hariri and all martyrs entrusted all Lebanese with and this is how we preserve a unified country,” Berri went on to say.
