U.S. Policy Sacrificed Lebanon Many Times
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Wednesday said that the policy of the United States has sacrificed Lebanon many times throughout history.
"We are not against it, but it is against us through supporting Israel and the naturalization of Palestinians," added Aoun about U.S. policy in an interview on OTV network.
Aoun stressed that "the U.S. administration is interfering in Lebanon”s internal affairs," and asked if it cares about Lebanon or if it knows the result of naturalizing the Palestinians on its soil.
On the other hand, FPM leader said that he did not notice any Syrian dismay at President Michel Suleiman regarding his recent visit to Washington.
"The presidency position has the authority to represent Lebanon in foreign politics, and he (the president) is free. When he makes a mistake, then he can be criticized, but we cannot limit his freedom. If the situation with the U.S. has reached a vague condition, then how can he understand its policy toward us except by visiting Washington," added Aoun.
Regarding the relation with Syria, Aoun said that Lebanon”s relation with its neighbor should be characterized by good neighborhood terms, given the bonds of blood and history with Syria, which are not "hidden matters."
Aoun commented on Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel”s latest interview in As Sayad weekly by saying: "How can he solve the issue of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon through positive neutralism?"
