Those Calling for Dialogue with Syria are Disregarding Martyrs” Sacrifices
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Thursday criticized those calling for dialogue with Syria as Lebanon makes attempts to form a new cabinet, saying such efforts undermine Lebanon”s martyrs.
"Where are the sacrifices made for Lebanon?" Geagea wondered, saying all those calling for dialogue with Damascus every time there is an internal political event are disregarding the sacrifices and the blood spilled by martyrs.
"We will let the Lebanese citizen lose hope in an independent nation," he told a visiting delegation from Koura residents.
He also criticized those who allegedly behave as if the March 14 forces didn”t win the June 7 parliamentary elections. "The elections that took place in Lebanon are the best elections since 50 years. (They) led to the victory of the March 14 team."
Geagea accused the opposition of making demands that obstruct democratic and political life in the country and urged the March 8 forces to oppose in a democratic manner and not like Sunday”s fighting in Beirut”s Aisha Bakkar neighborhood.
"Let them oppose as people usually oppose in parliament and democratic institutions," the LF leader said.
