Dialogue Conference the Last Chance to Pacify Lebanon
MP Samir Franjieh said the Conference on National Dialogue launched at the Baabda Palace on Tuesday could be the "last chance" to pacify and protect Lebanon against regional threats.
Franjieh made the remark in a radio interview as President Michel Suleiman launched the dialogue, in which 14 leaders took part in addition to Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa.
Franjieh said he expects the first round of dialogue to produce "at least a clear agenda" of topics to be tackled in future meetings that are expected to be held after the Fitr holiday.
He praised a reconciliation meeting held on Monday between representatives of the Progressive Socialist Party and Hizbullah, saying it helps in decreasing tension.
