leader Samir Geagea

stated on Sunday that Syria's Lebanese allies are sensing that the Syrian regime will be tossed, and they are therefore now, contrary to their usual practices, calling for dialogue.

He said: "They are living in a state of confusion and are trying to take all possible measures to save themselves should the regime be toppled.

He made his statements during a telephone call to the annual LF party conference in North America.

"Everyone in Leb is in a state of expectation and don't expect the March 8 or 14 camps to take any extraordinary measure in the country except caretaking, which is what they are already doing today," Geagea noted.

"The developments in Syria are a major popular revolt aimed at toppling the regime," he added.

"The road to democracy will pass through several obstacles and hardships, but in the end, history can only move forward towards the positive," he stressed.

On local developments, the LF leader said: "The situation in Leb cannot become stabilized if an electoral law that adheres to the Taef accord is not adopted."
