Aoun: Hizbullah should join armed forces
2005-09-19
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said Hizbullah should be proud to become part of the Lebanese Armed forces, as he officially launched his political party. Speaking at Le Royal Hotel in a ceremony to present his movement as a new political party, Aoun said: "We should work on training and enhancing the armed forces so that Hizbullah would be proud to join it."

Aoun, a former army general who has long said he is one of the main forces behind UN Security Council Resolution 1559 - partly calling on Hizbullah to disarm - said that the Lebanese Army needed enhancement on the "human and technical levels; and its arms need to be developed, all in all to transform it into a role model institution for defending the country which everyone would long to join." Hizbullah refused to comment on Aoun's statement.
