“Presidential vacuum hinders the work of the public institutions, which have the duty of serving the Lebanese citizens,” he stated.
In his statement delivered in the closure of the Antiochian Unity Conference at the Monastery of Our Lady of Balamand, Yaziji noted that “the international silence and inactivity regarding the case of the kidnapped bishops is a disgrace to all those who pretend to be defending Human Rights.”
The Antiochian Unity Conference had called on the International Community to exert efforts in order to restore peace in the Middle East in general, and in Syria and Iraq in particular, urging the local authorities to protect Lebanon’s stability and to work on electing a new president as soon as possible.
