The Armenian Tashnag Party has reached a decision about its electoral alliances and will inform Mustaqbal movement leader Saad Hariri about it within days, Tashnag sources told An Nahar daily.
The newspaper said Saturday that a meeting between the Phalange Party”s central committee coordinator, Sami Gemayel, and Tashnag”s Secretary-General Hovig Mekhitarian in Bourj Hammoud did not change the status quo but the door was still open for a possible understanding between the two sides.
Gemayel described his meeting on Friday with Mekhitarian as being part of previous talks.
"What brings us together with the Armenians is more than what separates us," the son of Phalange leader Amin Gemayel said.
The Tashnag sources told An Nahar that the party will inform Hariri about its decision on Monday or Tuesday, adding that talks were ongoing with MP Michel Murr.
Murr said Friday that he was "keen on maintaining a firm relationship" with the Tashnag that dates back to 50 years.
