Lebanon's parliament majority leader MP Saad Hariri called for resumption of all-party roundtable talks "immediately," and appealed to his rivals, telling them that if you want dialogue, don't just say it, do it. "Let's resume dialogue at once and not just settle for expressing a desire to start talks through the media, because the only way out of the crisis is through immediate dialogue," Hariri told a dinner banquet on Saturday. "Let's brush aside political, constitutional and media bickering and meet," Hariri told a dinner banquet on Saturday."Presidential elections should take place in accordance with the constitutional schedule," Hariri said. "Hampering the election process is a big crime against Lebanon. Anyone who seeks to hamper the elections doesn't want the good for Lebanon."
"A Presidential vacuum and threats of a second government are dangerous for everyone, not just for March 14," he stressed. "They pose a threat to Lebanon's unity and legitimacy and, consequently, (pose) a threat to all."
Addressing Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Hariri said: "Open the door today and you will see that we (March 14) will be the first to enter the dialogue room for a get-together (meeting)."
