Gemayel: Lebanon Cannot Support Arab Revolts while it is Victim of Illegitimate Arms
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel stated on Tuesday that the spirit of slain former Premier Rafik Hariri has returned with the wave of Arab revolts and with the release of the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
He asked: “Is it logical for us to back Arabs revolting against their regimes and accept that the Lebanese remain captive to the illegitimate arms?”
He made his statement during a ceremony at BIEL in downtown Beirut marking the seventh anniversary of the assassination of Hariri.
He continued: “I am certain that no power can thwart the STL.”
“The truth will be revealed and justice will be achieved,” declared Gemayel.
Addressing former PM Saad Hariri, he said: “Together we demonstrated, together we resisted, together we united the people, and together we were oppressed.”
“We liberated the land and we contributed in the launch of the tribunal,” he added.
“We have placed the foundations of a new pact and we will remain together, loyal to the people who are longing for freedom and we will remain loyal to the martyrs,” stressed the Phalange Party leader.
“The March 14 movement belongs to the whole of Lebanon and all the Lebanese who believe in the country’s sovereignty and independence,” he stated.
“It belongs to all who believe in peace and the Arab revolts,” concluded Gemayel.
