Aoun Says Syria War Won't Affect Lebanon, 'No Winners, Losers' in Elections
President Michel Aoun has reassured that Syria's raging war will not affect Lebanon, noting that there will be no “winners or losers in the upcoming elections.”
“We have managed to create a situation in which losses and victories in Syria do not have an effect and Lebanon would maintain a state of stability and prosperity without getting entangled in conflicts,” Aoun said in an interview with Egypt's ON Live TV.
“This has secured stability for the country and kept us away from the repercussions of what's happening in Syria,” the president added.
“The international community also wants stability for Lebanon,” Aoun went on to say.
Turning to the issue of the upcoming elections, the president said “there will be no winners or losers in the upcoming elections.”
“We will have a parliament characterized with balance and the most correct representation that reflects Lebanon's pluralism,” Aoun added.
