Aoun: If Conflict Erupts in Lebanon, It Won’t Be Sectarian


19/10/2010 The head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun on Tuesday stressed that any potential conflict in Lebanon would not be of "sectarian" nature, "but it would rather be for change and reform, which are more important than the Special Tribunal for Lebanon."

Speaking to reporters following his parliamentary bloc’s weekly meeting, Aoun noted that all parties should be concerned with change and reform.

Aoun recalled that "Israel controls the decision of war and peace," noting that "the Lebanese will be divided about it between those who will surrender to Israel and those who will resist it."

Commenting on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent visit to Lebanon, Aoun said: "The Lebanese people is hospitable and we delightfully welcomed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because he has always stood by Lebanon."

Aoun reminisced that "ten nations rejected to cooperate with international investigation commission," criticizing the latest US call for supporting the UN-backed tribunal. "There won't be stability in Lebanon without justice, and justice begins with trying the false witnesses," Aoun reiterated.
