Aoun: Opposition Plan to Provoke Country “Criminal”

Local Editor

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun described on Monday the opposition's plan to provoke countries against Lebanon as "criminal," saying that it will fail.

Following an extraordinary meeting for the Reform and Change bloc, Aoun said "They have changed their motto to ‘all against the nation.'"

"This is a crime and it appears that the side that monopolized power and ruined the country for 20 years is appalled to find itself no longer in power," he noted.
"The country cannot be threatened," he declared, adding "I ask them to hold back their tongues as they cannot start any problem." He assured there are things that are much important than the Special Tribunal for Lebanon which is temporary, especially in light of the priority of building the country, which the government is working on.

"The Special Tribunal for Lebanon will determine its position from the government based on whether it is implementing its orders or not," he continued.
