Berri Praises Turkey
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Thursday expressed gratitude to Turkey for supporting Lebanon in the 2006 war between Hizbullah and Israel as well as for donating troops to UNIFIL.
Berri also told Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Lebanon highly values "Turkey”s efforts to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza."
Berri, visiting Turkey since Tuesday, had told Asian parliamentarians in Istanbul that Israel made use of splits among the Palestinians and Arabs to launch its attack on Gaza.
He said if the Arabs and Palestinians managed to consolidate ranks then "90% of the problem would be resolved and the resistance would achieve the remaining 10%."
