President Michel Suleiman returned to Lebanon on Saturday from a three-day visit to Armenia where he met his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkissian and other officials.

He stressed the importance of the agreements between the two countries, praising the “major role Lebanese of Armenian origin play in all fields in Lebanon.”

United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon will discuss with senior Lebanese officials during his upcoming visit to Beirut the cooperation protocol of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon that is opposed by the majority of the cabinet members.

The protocol expires in March.

President Michel Suleiman on Friday slammed the “terrorist attack” on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, saying its objective is to drive the peacekeepers out of the country.

At a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian in Yerevan, Suleiman said: “France, which has made huge sacrifices for Lebanon, will not succumb to these terrorist activities.”

President Michel Suleiman travelled to Armenia on Thursday on a three-day official visit that will include the signature of several cooperation agreements.

Suleiman left Rafik Hariri international airport along with First Lady Wafaa and a delegation of ministers and MPs on Thursday morning.

Baabda Palace has reportedly snubbed visiting U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman after the failure of President Michel Suleiman to meet with any U.S. official during his visit to New York in September.

An Nahar daily said Thursday that the presidential palace did not set a date for talks between Suleiman and Feltman as a retaliation to the failure to hold any meeting between the Lebanese head of a state and U.S. officials on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in September.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati stressed that President Michel Suleiman is his constitutional partner and is keen on his relations with him in addition to his ties with Hizbullah.

In remarks to As Safir daily published Thursday, Miqati said: “We have ideal ties and I am keen on them.”

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman stressed on Wednesday the need for Lebanon to continue its cooperation with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.

He said after holding talks with Prime Minsiter Najib Miqati that he does not believe that Lebanon wants to wage a confrontation with the Arab and international communities.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun warned on Tuesday that if the situation in Lebanon continues the way it does, then the government will collapse.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “We have not yet decided if we will participate in cabinet’s session on Wednesday.”

Premier Najib Miqati has met with President Michel Suleiman to discuss the agenda of Wednesday’s cabinet session as Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun is expected to announce whether the ministers loyal to him would attend the meeting or not.

Suleiman’s sources told As Safir daily that the session should be held on time, saying the people’s needs should be prioritized rather than obstructing the government work.

President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister Najib Miqati held talks Monday in Baabda on the latest developments and the agenda of the cabinet session scheduled for Wednesday, state-run National News Agency reported.

Wednesday’s session comes a week after Miqati announced the postponement of the previous cabinet meeting and the transfer of Lebanon’s annual share of funds to the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
