(Lebanon Twitte)-Discords amongst the Lebanese political forces and inter-religious problems in the country, which hinder the development of Lebanon, can be solved only through political change, as a result of which the country could become a modern state in both economic and political sense, the Speaker of Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri believes.
Development and Liberation bloc MP Michel Moussa said on Wednesday that despite Speaker Nabih Berri's despair, the new cabinet is that of a nation and will ultimately have to be formed.
Berri described the situation in Lebanon as “appalling” as a result of the country being left without a government. He spoke during a meeting at his residence in Ain al-Tineh with a delegation from the Arab and international news agencies currently visiting Beirut to attend a conference to mark the Silver Jubilee of the state-run National News Agency.
Moussa said March 8 forces are the only ones considered with the formation process, since March 14 coalition has expressed its refusal to join the new cabinet headed by Prime Minister Designate Najib Mikati, although contact between the 2 coalitions still exists.
An agreement on an equal number of Muslims and Christians in the Lebanese Parliament has been achieved 20 years ago. This agreement, called the Taif Accord, put an end in 1990 to the bloody confrontation that existed in the country since 1975.
He called on Sleiman and Mikati to shoulder their historic responsibilities by forming “a government of conscience, not a government of hatred, a national salvation government on the basis of a strict implementation of the National Accord Document and all U.N. resolutions.
