Minister Sayyed Hussein for Discussing Abolishment of Confessionalism at Dialogue Table
Cabinet Minister Adnan Sayyed Hussein warned of the "sensitivity" of the issue of abolishment of confessionalism in politics but said he supported discussing it at the national dialogue table.
Sayyed Hussein told Voice of Lebanon radio on Tuesday that the controversial issue should be discussed along with the defense strategy by top Lebanese leaders at the dialogue table.
The minister reminded Lebanese that the time should be ripe to discuss the topic particularly that President Michel Suleiman had put the condition of having national consensus in any attempt to launch reform.
He stressed that discussions to form the committee for the abolishment of confessionalism should be held away from tension and division of shares.
"Formation of the committee does not mean that confessionalism will be abolished tomorrow," Sayyed Hussein added.
