| Aoun attacks Sfeir, said 'does not represent the public opinion' |
| 2008-01-01 |
| Hezbollah-led opposition ally General Michel Aoun on Monday attacked Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir and said " he does not represent the public opinion, but only the Church." The Patriarch, Aoun said, "is free to express his opinion regarding the political situation Â… but he does not decide our constitutional powers on behalf of us." Aoun asked Sfeir to "clarify what is being said" about Bkirki's support for Premier Fouad Saniora's government. Aoun, who was addressing a delegation from Byblos at his residence in Rabieh, also accused former President Amin Gemayel and Lebanese Forces leader Dr. Samir Geagea of "blocking the Bkirki meeting" that had been aimed at achieving consensus among Christian leaders on a presidential candidate. |
