Berri to Aoun: You Are the Opposition Negotiator in Bilateral Talks, rules out meeting with HaririParliament Speaker Nabih Berri has telephoned Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun to inform him that he remains the opposition”s negotiator in any bilateral talks with the ruling March 14 coalition, the daily As Safir reported Wednesday.
“But if they (March 14 Forces) want dialogue that includes all parties, then they are welcome at the dialogue table in parliament,” Berri was quoted as telling Aoun.
Berri had recently moved a table with 14 seats around it into parliament building to try to bring rival political leaders to start talking and end a prolonged deadlock.
Sources close to Berri ruled out bilateral talks between the speaker and al Mustaqbal leader MP Saad Hariri to discuss dialogue prospects and guarantees for holding presidential elections on May 13.
