Our Alliance With Aoun Dates to 2005 Prior to His Return to Beirut
Youth and Sports Minister Talal Arsalan said that the alliance and coordination with Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun "dates back to 2005 prior to his return from Paris to Beirut."
Arsalan disclosed that electoral lists would be announced soon following consultations with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
Following his meeting with Aoun in Rabieh on Saturday, Arsalan said: "[I hope] all in the opposition [March 8 Forces] would realize their responsibilities, over the past 4 years the opposition protected the country and saved democratic life…we must abandon ant form of selfishness and look at the overall national project."
Aoun told reporters: "[current] problems in forming the electoral lists are present in the Baabda and Aley regions due to the presence of more than two parties. We are working on getting rid of the obstacles."
He added that lists would be announced soon.
