Hariri Ready to Meet Aoun at Baabda or Parliament
Premier-designate Saad Hariri launched a new initiative on Friday by inviting Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun for talks at Baabda palace or parliament.
"Since Gen. Michel Aoun does not want to come to Qoreitem or Center House, I am ready to meet him" at Baabda palace or parliament, Hariri said during an Iftar.
"I hope this initiative will receive a positive response because the country is more important than all of us," he added.
Hariri then called President Michel Suleiman and Speaker Nabih Berri to inform him about his initiative.
During the Iftar, the PM-designate also said the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is not politicized and stressed he will respect its rulings.
