Our Support to the Military Institution is Absolute
Environment Minister Antoine Karam on Monday expressed March 14 coalition”s "absolute support" to the Lebanese army.
"March 14 Forces support state legitimacy. However, there are some officers whose allegiances are questionable," he told Voice of Lebanon Radio.
"But our support for the military is absolute," he added.
On the issue of wiretapping, Karam said: "Wiretapping at times is necessary due to the current security situation. Wiretapping should not be deemed appropriate, that is why it is subject to judicial approval."
He accused some parties of not wanting wiretapping to be legal.
"The minister of telecommunications does not have the right to question the legality of a wiretapping request. He has to unquestionably implement a wiretapping request from judicial authorities," Karam said.
He said he hoped the 2009 state budget would be approved soon.
