Head of Lebanese forces Samir Geagea’s media office replied to Speaker Nabih Berri’s statements saying that “the agreement between the Lebanese forces and Free Patriotic Movement is not enough to elect a president, but a national and Christian agreement is also required”.
The media office asserted that Maarab’s meeting is not limited to Christians, as it concerns the entire country “because both March 14 and March 8 alliances took part in it as well.”
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea had announced his party’s adoption of General Michel Aoun’s nomination at Maarab’s Meeting on January 18th.
