Aoun hails latest talks with Hariri, dubs them as “very positive”
Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun hailed on Tuesday his latest talks with Future Movement leader former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, dubbing them  as “very positive.”
“Hariri is the leader of the Lebanese Sunnis. It is only natural to have him as the country's prime minister,” he said during an interview on OTV channel.
Aoun also stressed that there was no conflict between him and Hariri regarding the implementation of the Taef Accord.
On another note, he said that the relation with Speaker Nabih Berry is “good,” adding that no pre-conditions must be present while electing a new president.
Turning to Hezbollah’s position, Aoun stressed that “Hezbollah is still seeking to continue its role regarding the presidency.”
Aoun also noted that he “trusts” Lebanese Forces head Samir Geagea in his support for his presidential bid.
Lebanon has been plunged into a presidential vacuum since the mandate of Michel Sleiman ended in May 2014 and Hezbollah, Aoun's Change and Reform bloc and some of their allies have been boycotting the electoral sessions, stripping them of the needed quorum.
Hariri, who is close to Saudi Arabia, launched an initiative in late 2015 to endorse the nomination of Marada Movement leader MP Sleiman Frangieh for the presidency but his proposal was met with reservations from the country's main Christian parties as well as Hezbollah.
Hariri's move prompted Geagea to support the nomination of Aoun, after months of political rapprochement talks between their two parties.
The supporters of Aoun's presidential bid say that he is more eligible than Frangieh to become Lebanon’s next president due to the size of his
parliamentary bloc.
