Hariri from Cairo Calls for International Observers to Monitor Elections
Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri on Tuesday called for international observers to monitor parliamentary elections scheduled for July 7.
Hariri told reporters following a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Geith that it is "important that elections be held in a stable (security) situation."
He demanded international observers and others from the Arab League to monitor polls "so we can ensure fully democratic elections."
An Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman, in turn, said talks with Hariri focused on the issue of sending Egyptian observers to Lebanon to monitor the elections.
