BEIRUT – State Minister Jean Ogassapian called on Wednesday on opening
a new chapter among the Lebanese, as parliamentary elections were
over. He said the people were still committed to the Cedar Revolution
as electoral results have shown. He told Voice of Lebanon radio
station that the obstructing third experience within the Cabinet
failed and March 14 coalition should, therefore, discuss the new
Cabinet’s modalities. He stated that the parliamentary majority would
claim guarantees so to reelect Speaker Nabih Berri to chair the next
Parliament, noting many gaps, in the past period, that should be
examined so to be avoided.
Ogassapian said the electoral outcome has shown that Armenian
representation has moved from a party to another, stressing the
necessity to take this issue seriously into consideration. He signaled
that Ministers have not been informed of any Cabinet meeting set
for this week, but "it was normal to hold a meeting or many before
June 20".
