March 14 for Electing Suleiman President on Saturday

The March 14 majority alliance on Wednesday called for cooperation with Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa to facilitate the “immediate” election of Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman president next Saturday.

 

In a statement issued after a meeting by its follow-up committee, the alliance called for “(positive) response to the initiative by providing all the needed facilities to bring it to success through the immediate election of Gen. Michel Suleiman, the consensus candidate, “This requires responding to Moussa”s efforts … so that the parliamentary session scheduled for next Saturday be an election session and the beginning of exiting Lebanon from the dark tunnel into which it had been ushered.”

 

The alliance said it “denounces and deplores” threats made by terrorist mastermind Shaker Abssi against Suleiman and the army.
