MP Aoun warns against negotiating with terrorists, says history will not be tolerant

2^min

Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun warned on Tuesday against the possibility of holding negotiations with "the Islamic State's terrorists, because history will not be tolerant of such mistakes.

Aoun's comments were made following the bloc's weekly meeting whereby he noted that monitoring the Lebanese-Syrian border is both Lebanon and Syria's duty.

He also stressed that the current developments in the border town of Arsal should push the Lebanese leaders towards tackling the Syrian refugees crisis.

Aoun dubbed calls demanding the deployment of United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon along the border with Syria and the expansion of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 as delusional.

At least 16 Lebanese soldiers and dozens of civilians and militants have been killed in the fighting in Arsal in the most serious spillover yet in three years of civil war in Syria.

The clashes began on Saturday after security forces arrested an Islamist commander popular with local rebels who frequently move across the porous border with Syria.

Shortly after the arrest, gunmen attacked security forces in the area. Lebanese security officials say the fighters include members of al Qaeda's Syria branch, the Nusra Front, and an al Qaeda splinter group, the Islamic State, which has seized swathes of land in Syria and Iraq.
