Berri: All efforts must be focused on finalizing presidential juncture

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has stressed that “all efforts must be focused on finalizing the presidential juncture as soon as possible.”

As for remarks by some about serious efforts to wrap up the presidential file by May at the latest, Berri told al-Joumhouria newspaper that “what’s needed is the election of a president -- yesterday rather than today and today rather than tomorrow.”

Asked whether a visit abroad by him could lead to a presidential solution, Berri said: “In this case, and if I see serious efforts and solutions and positive results, I will go anywhere, even on foot!”
