Source: Al-Manar TV, 28-7-2008
The head of the Reform and Change parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun rejected on Monday the classification of Hizbullah as terrorist, stressing that the Resistance party was not terrorist, warning that "no one has the right to label Hizbullah terrorist."
Speaking to reporters after heading his parliamentary bloc weekly meeting, Aoun recalled that Hizbullah weapons were resistance weapons that constitute a point of strength for Lebanon. "We would not give up our points of strength," he added, noting at the same time that the weapons issue would be tackled within the framework of the defense strategy. He warned against dangers Lebanon is facing, highlighting that "we shouldn't sit relaxed regarding the issue of naturalization of Palestinians."
The "General" praised Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, saying that he is the first Arab leader to have defeated the Zionist entity. He also rejected the mere talking about transferring Sayyed Nasrallah into court as shameful. "They should provide him with parliamentary immunity at the lowest level," Aoun stressed.
MP Aoun renewed his demand that a DNA bank be formed in solidarity with the families of missing persons, requesting that a minister be appointed to look into the various cases of missing people.
He pointed out any dealing with the issue should take into consideration the missing persons within Lebanon and not only the ones missing in Syria. He said about 600-700 Lebanese citizens are believed missing "some of them did not reach Syria."
Aoun reiterated once again the need to develop the electoral sector, urging Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to call for a parliamentary session to ratify the Parliamentary constituencies as agreed during talks in Doha.
