Invitations for Dialogue Near Completed, Pending Armenian Agreement on
Representative in Talks

President Michel Suleiman’s office has sent out letters inviting the
political parties to the national dialogue scheduled to start
Sept. 16. The invitations, however, were not entirely completed,
pending Armenian agreement on who would represent them in the talks.

News reports on Sunday said no invitation has been sent to any
Armenian official until they agree on a representative.

Preparations were underway for the re-launch of dialogue at 11:00 am
on Tuesday at Baabda Palace.

Invitations were sent to the leaders of Lebanon’s 14 political parties
only and not to their aides, unlike the previous dialogue which was
launched in March 2006 but was interrupted five months later following
Israel’s summer war on Lebanon.
