Aoun Warns al-Rahi against Accepting President who May Approve 'Refugees Naturalization'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun warned Tuesday of an “international attempt” to naturalize Syrian refugees in Lebanon, urging the Maronite patriarch to reject the election of a president who would approve such a move.

“There are several indications of an attempt by world powers to naturalize the refugees in Lebanon … There is a European conspiracy aimed at making Lebanon shoulder the greatest burden from the Syrian refugee crisis and we reject a second naturalization,” said Aoun after his bloc's weekly meeting.

“We warn everyone, especially the head of the Maronite church (Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi), against electing a president who would sign the decree of naturalizing the Syrians,” Aoun added.

He noted that any refugee who has a job in his homeland “must be returned to his country.”

“Those who visit their country and come back must also be stripped of the refugee status,” he added.

Aoun and his bloc had repeatedly warned that the Syrian refugee influx poses a threat to Lebanon at the political, social, economic, security and demographic levels.

The MP's remarks come a day after British Prime Minister David Cameron made a surprise visit to a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon on Monday and said increased aid would help stem a major migration crisis in Europe.

The visit, which included talks with Prime Minister Tammam Salam, came as Cameron appointed a minister to oversee the resettlement of 20,000 Syrian refugees in Britain over the next five years.

Cameron said Britain was doubling its support for Lebanon's schools to 20 million pounds a year for the next three years to help them teach Syrian refugee children as well as Lebanese.

He said boosting aid to countries hosting refugees was key to tackling a migration crisis that has seen tens of thousands of people flooding into Europe seeking asylum.

Britain last week announced it would spend an additional 100 million pounds on Syrian refugees, 40 million of which will go to U.N. and other non-governmental groups working with refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Nearly two-thirds of that 40 million pounds will be spent in Lebanon, which is hosting more than 1.1 million refugees despite having a population of just four million citizens.

At a press conference after meeting Salam, Cameron acknowledged that the "humanitarian crisis in Syria is putting huge pressure" on Lebanon.

In total, more than four million Syrians have fled abroad as the conflict has left more than 240,000 people dead.

Aoun: We warn everyone, especially the head of the Maronite church, against electing a president who would sign the decree of naturalizing the Syrians.

More threats More scare tactics.

Aoun: There is a European conspiracy aimed at making Lebanon shoulder the greatest burden from the Syrian refugee crisis and we reject a second naturalization.

Any details about such conspiracy? Names, dates, places?

عون: لماذا لا يتم تسجيل الولادات السورية في السفارة السورية؟

Ask your master in Syria why this is not happening.

You had 10 ministers in Miqati’s government and what did you do to stop Syrian refugees from entering Lebanon? Nothing

Aoun Warns al-Rahi against Accepting President who May Approve 'Refugees Naturalization'.
Aoun is losing it completely and hinting at a European conspiracy to naturalize Syrians through a President they want. He is directly hinting at Qahwaji whom the British prime minister met yesterday at Riyak base.;)

That is a good sign, guys read it this way: A discussion about a new president in being formulated. One of the conditions; not to give citizenship to Syrians. Really an excellent point, he is not a president. PRESIDENT.

Does this lunatic Claoun have to open his hole every Tuesday? Does he have to warn every time? Does he have to raise dumb issues that are even dumber than him? Ya Claoun Aoun, you can do whatever it takes in your attempt to become president of Lebanon, it will never work. Right now, at this very moment as we speak, there are 4 names of young candidates that Batrak has tabled, and none of them are yours or of your arch-foe Geagea. Those 4 names are people who come from good families, people whose very shoe-soles are much cleaner than you, wou tammen belak ya khetyar il mrit, none of them will seel one bit of our integrity to anyone, very much unlike you. Leyk ya Aboul Mish, min ekhira, you are corrupt beyond the bone marrow, and we all know what you will do if elected, you will give Lebanon to your beloved masters in Tehran and Damascus, so don't think people are like you, simple cheap shot sewer rats. Now fek 3an daherrnah, el 3ama bi albak.

Aoun: It is shameful to link the issue of the senior military officers to the garbage crisis.

Well according to today's Al Akhbar you are the one proposing the deal!

Thumb justin 15 September 2015, 19:01

aoun is an expert at manipulation but shallow manipulation. He is trying his best at incitement and sectarian propaganda to strengthen his position within the Christian community. It is NOT working.

Exactly right humble, it is clear. He personally gave up. Barking will not help.

southern stop wondering, those M14's figures &supporters and of course Cardinal Beshara al-Rahi hate those who thinks of Lebanon and defends its interests, openly! I don;t know about you but I myself think the Cardinal was bought off by the Saudis or the Qataris or the Turkeys.. it's more likely the Turkeys, it's a well known fact that al-Rahi's favorite dish is Turkey with gravy and baked potatoes. BTW can I get you a Tatbeer, or did you just have one.

No son, Tatbeer is spelled Tatbeer; Tatbir is spelled Tatbir..

.. anyway Southern you seem to be obsessed with wet dreams and that's not healthy boy. Seek help now! I really hope you're not whacking your little resistance jihadi soldier like you whack yourself while having Tatbeer, you can go blind you know. BTW do you have more peanuts with your Tatbeer or just the big nut uselessly hanging due north at the end of your neck, the nut you whack like it's a piñata, is it.

What a lowlife the senile Aoun how he spun the refugees situation in a his own way to jump all over Cardinal al-Rahi. Al-Rahi's crime, insisting on the election of a president.

Aoun would rather see civil war, death , chaos than to lose to the constitution and elections. How dare he demand his way and hezbollah way in the name of consensus. The time of old Syrian control and special deals are finished. PROTESTERS.... WHERE'S THE RAGE OF THIS? THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM IN LEBANON RIGHT NOW !!!

Taef gave too much to the Christians, they are 30% all combined but they got 50% power sharing plus the president, army commander, central bank governor etc.. etc.. etc.. The Shias are the majority and were dispossessed by the Christians in Taef.

عون (عن حزب التعتير والاسلاح) : لماذا لا يتم تسجيل الولادات السورية في السفارة السورية
هذا سؤال محق ووجيه ونشكر الجنرال لانه استثنى اللبنانيين ولم يطلب منهم تسجيل الولادات اللبنانية في السفارة السورية.

Thank you.
هذا هو حزب التعتير والاسلاح ما في اشطر منهم بالتنظير والاعتراضات
علما انهم موجودين في كل الحكومات بدون فايدة سوى افراغ الخزينة
لاحظ كيف يدافعون عن المسيحيين بمحاولة تهميش البطرك في كل مناسبة علما ان
حق حضرة الجنرال بالترشح للرءاسة هو بسبب انتماءه الاسمي تحت راية البطرك ممثل كل الموارنة

Yes, the conspiracies are everywhere. Everyone conspires against the Great Aoun, otherwise he would have achieved the Holy Grail of Baabda by now, surely. His dementia has evolved into myopic dementia. Everything is caused by his attempt to reach Baabda. All problems persist because he has not gotten there yet.
If only "his" people could be freed to vote him to be President by acclamation, then all of the conspiracies will be defeated, all of the wrongs will be righted and Aoun will reign for ages and ages, Amen. The Gospel of the Evangelist Michel Aoun Chapter, Verse 1.
