| MP Tueni criticizes Hezbollah weapons |
| 2008-08-10 |
| MP Ghassan Tueni, Managing Director of An Nahar has said Hezbollah's possession of weapons "encourages other parties to arm up." Tueni, in an interview with Aoun's Orange Television Network (OTV) , rejected Hezbollah's stand that it had to carry out a military operation in May to defend its communications network and reject government action against the chief of Beirut Airport security Brig. Wafik Shoqeir. Tueni called for forming a house of Senate in line with the Taif accord to represent the various religious communities in Lebanon. He also proposed obliging politicians to "read. We have ministers that I doubt they had ever read a book." |
