BEIRUT – Lebanese Forces bloc MP Antoine Zahra stated on Thursday
that consultations were ongoing between "our allies in the Future
Movement and allied-Armenian parties in order to resolve the problem
of Beirut I district".

Zahra pointed out to the Voice of Lebanon radio station all
parties were seeking to settle the issue and finalize electoral
lists before the weekend. He added that there were no major security
incidents in the horizon, which may prevent holding the parliamentary
elections. However, he said, some little conflicts were deliberately
undertaken but would only strengthen the determination of the political
powers to keep up with their action.

The LF official confirmed that March 14 coalition will hold a broad
meeting in Bristol Hotel next week and would deliver, afterwards,
statements confirming the political action to be taken and solidarity
for the post-electoral period.
