Sfeir for Speedy Presidential Election

 
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Thursday called for speedy presidential elections in light of the consensus on Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman.

Sfeir also stressed to visitors that the “ongoing void in the presidency is not justified in light of the consensus on Gen. Suleiman.”

 

The Patriarch blamed unidentified factions for “receiving orders from Syria and Iran.”

 

He was obviously referring to Hizbullah and some forces of the opposition that is backed by Damascus and Tehran.
