IRAQ / IRAK Allawi non-attendance 'not due to illness, but despondency' Erbil, June 22 (AKnews) - Allawi s reason for failing to attend discussions to resolve the political crisis was not medical as reported, but rather due to his belief that the meetings are pointless, said a Kurdish Member of Parliament. Speaking to AKnews, Ashwaq Jaf, said that since Allawi believes there is no point is such meetings he avoids them. The recent round of meetings, organized by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, started this week, but Allawi failed to attend, saying he was in London for medical treatment. leaders of almost all the major parties met in president s house Monday to negotiate a common ground out of the current political crisis in the country. Allawi apologized from attending the meeting, saying he is on a visit to London for treatment. He will only be ready for a meeting when the subject is to discuss Erbil agreement in concrete terms and a schedule for its enforcement has already been set, Jaf added. The agreement, signed last year, allowed for Talabani and Prime Minister Nouri al-maliki to retain their posts for the second successive term and the creation of a power sharing government, despite Allawi s al-iraqiya winning most seats in parliament. Allawi was to be appointed head of a new executive body, dubbed the National Council of Strategic Polices, but wrangling over the powers of the post have meant in is yet to be created. Allawi has accused Maliki of evading and violating the Erbil deal and Maliki for his part has said al-iragiya is adding new terms to the deal. Bahaa al-araji of the Ahrar bloc, a current within the Sadrist section of the ruling coalition, said that Allawi's non-attendance is not acceptable. Sayfa 2

The tensions reached climax when on July 10 at a public protest rally Allawi s images were burned by supposed Maliki supporters and Allawi responded saying the Prime Minister is a hypocrite who depends on foreigners [implying Iran] for staying in power / US forces barred from Basra province Basra, June 22 (AKnews) Basra provincial council has ordered a ban on US forces entry into the province in a show of no support for a US forces stay extension in the country beyond the 2011 deadline. According to the provincial decree which was passed by the council with a vote of 26 members out of 36, no US troops ill be allowed to enter Basra province. The provincial council called on the US forces to evacuate the Basra Airport Basra provincial council media official Hashim Luaibi told AKnews, To fill the gaps in the face of armed groups who continue to attack the airport because of the presence of the US forces The US forces use Basra airport for their military base in the province. Last week, a US helicopter killed one person and injured two whom they described as insurgents trying to fire missiles at the US base. An Iraqi lawmaker told AKnews that it was civilians who were targeted by the US helicopter not insurgents. The local government in Basra has also called on the US forces to compensate victims of their military operations, according to Luaibi. Luaibi did not make clear whether the decision had anything to do with the recent US helicopter attack in Basra or a call by Shia cleric Moqtada al-sadr Sayfa 3

5 who called on all Iraqi provincial councils in late May to prevent the US forces from entering their provinces. Al-Sadr is famous for his continuous resistance to the US presence in Iraq. His movement s military wing Mahdi Army waged a deadly war against the US forces and Iraqi army in 2004 following closure of his newspaper and attempts to arrest him. Al-Sadr s followers accuse the US of committing crimes against the Iraqi people while stealing the wealth of the country. Head of the Ahrar Bloc in the Basra provincial council, part of al-sadr s bloc, Mazen al-mazeni told AKnews that the decision came after the bloc persistently pressed on the council for such a move. This decision is considered to be a strong blow in the face of the occupying forces following the crimes they committed against the people of Basra he said, this will benefit the country According to a 2008 security agreement, the US forces have to leave the country by the end of The US forces currently keep some 45,000 troops in Iraq.

The crossing will be constructed near the existing Ibrahim al-khalil border point in Duhok province, Kurdistan, after agreement was met between the Turkish and Iraqi governments. The Iraqi Government announced recently that trade between Iraq and Turkey in 2010 was between $8-10 billion making it the second biggest trade partner after Iran. Trade with Turkey has grown at a ferocious rate in recent years. Before the 2003 invasion Iraq was Turkey s tenth largest trade partner, whereas it is now its fifth. Iraq is linked with neighboring countries through many bordering ports most notably Port Ibrahim al- Khalil crossing with Turkey, Rabia crossing with Syria, Traibil crossing with Jordan, Arar crossing with Saudi Arabia, and Shalamja and Mundhiriya with Iran. Sayfa 5

7 Trade is likely to be boosted by Iraq s decision to postpone the implementation of a new customs law, which would have imposed fees on imported goods of up to 20 per cent / Talks to end Kurdish political crisis unfruitful Erbil, June 22 (AKnews) A meeting between the ruling parties and the opposition in Kurdistan aimed at ending the political crisis, have ended with no agreement. The four-hour meeting today was an extension of two previous meetings held this month. The parties resolved to meet again on Monday. The opposition has been boycotting parliamentary sessions since March, with some exceptions such as the budget debate. They are demanding that the government implements emergency sessions to discuss the demands of the protesters who took to the streets from February demanding reform / Turkey casts off reaching water crisis with Iraq On Tuesday, Turkey discarded the fact that water crisis with Iraq would accentuate to the point that it would require to barter oil with water, adding that there is an agreement between the two countries as to opening passage borders that would answer the needs of growing commercial exchange between them two. Turkish Commercial Attaché in Baghdad, Matin Kerken told Alsumarianews on Tuesday that the issue of water might affect the relations between the two countries however things will not reach crisis stage or trading oil-for-water stage. He also added that his country is doing its best in order to provide Iraq with water. Sayfa 6

8 On May 26, Iraq government announced that it stopped the strategic agreement with Turkey in order to preserve Iraq strategic interests especially water in a step that goes along with the calls of Iraq parliament to link the agreement and different bilateral relations, with Turkey s engagement to release Iraq s share of water. Iraq Minister of State and Government spokesman Ali Al Dabbagh had told Alsumarianews that the fact that Iraq stopped the strategic agreement with Turkey does not mean that it is exerting pressure on it but it aims at preserving Iraq strategic interests especially water. It is to be noted that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced during his visit to Baghdad in July 2008 and after a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki that he signed an agreement that was called the Joint Political Announcement which included an item that stipulates to form a High Level Strategic Cooperation Council which works on organizing the relation between the two countries. This Council shall be headed by the Prime Ministers of the two countries and it shall convene once a year. Members of the council shall be energy, commerce, investment, security and water resources ministers. In addition the Prime Ministers of the two countries have the right to decide to expand the council so it includes Ministers and officials in specific fields and to develop the bilateral cooperation so it encloses these fields. The Ministers shall meet 3 times per year so that the Foreign Ministers of the two countries will be able to prepare to coordinate the Council s work and to finalize the agendas of each meeting. Iraq-Turkey High Level Strategic Cooperation Council is also entitled to work on many important issues such as the cooperation on the following levels: political, economic, energy, water, culture, security and military levels. This agreement came to crown the memorandum of understanding Sayfa 7

9 between Maliki and Erdogan signed in August 2007 and the visit of the President Jalal Talabani to Ankara in the same year. The agreement to form Iraq-Turkey High Level Strategic Cooperation Council was aimed at boosting bilateral relations and supporting the political, economic and security relations between the two countries as well as coordinating their regional stands and efforts in order to reach peace and stability in the region. Based on all the afore mentioned, the republics of Iraq and Turkey engage to develop a long term strategic partnership that aims at boosting solidarity between the two people. Iraq suffers from a regression in its water resources which led to the decrease of planted areas and an increase in the salinity of its water especially in the southern region and that because the bordering countries: Turkey, Syria and Iran are not releasing enough quantities of water and they are blocking rivers or changing their stream before they reach the Iraqi territory or establishing more dams especially on Tigris and Euphrates which endangers Iraq water security. Iraq Cabinet Secretary General Ali Al Allak had warned on April 13 during a festival organized by the Cabinet Secretariat General regarding the wetland agreement and means to preserve it, that problems, obstacles and challenges might be awaiting if a political national stand was not taken as to Iraq s getting a fair share of water. He also added that the country is facing great challenges as to keeping the wetlands and the marshes. Turkish Commercial Attaché in Baghdad Matin Kerken said that the two countries might open new border passages and added that the current passage does not answer the increasing needs for commerce exchange movement between the two countries. The two countries will open two new passage borders one in the north of Iraq and the other one in Mosul, he added. It is to be noted that currently, Iraq and turkey has only one passage Sayfa 8

16 Şimdi ne olur sizce? Katil İsrail karşısındaki direnişte ilk kale olduğu herkesçe bilinen Suriye rejiminin yıkılması veya zor durumda bırakılması sadece işgalci İsrail e yarayacağı halde, Türkiye nin İslamcı görünen yönetim kadrosunun Suriye yi içinden yıkabilmek için ABD ve İsrail den daha hızlı çalışması, birçok maskenin düşmesini ve karanlıkta kalan birçok gerçeğin de netleşmesini sağlamış oldu. Son günlerde Suriye politikasında - bilhassa seçim sonrasında iyice hızlanarak- aniden çarkeden AKP hükümetinin birdenbire tamamen ABD-İsrail politikasının uygulayıcısı kesilmesi ve Suriye de mezhep çatışmalarını körükleyip bunu İran ın üzerine yıkması, hatta bununla da yetinmeyip, AKP TELEVİZYONLARI üzerinden günlerdir İran a iftiralar yakılarak sanki İran, Suriye halkını katlediyormuş gibi bir görüntü yaratmaya çalışması hayretle izlenirken, bu Siyonist yandaşlığı ve mezhepçi tavrı, kendisine oy veren Müslümanlara nasıl izah edeceği merak ediliyor.. Dün akşam AKP taraftarı ve Fethullah Gülen etiketli olduğu herkesçe bilinen ÜLKE TV, izleyenleri şok eden iftiralarda bulunarak Suriye deki katliamları İran istihbaratının üzerine yıkmaya ve bunun nedenini de Şiilikle izah etmeye yeltendi! Yani İranlılar Şii oldukları için, Suriye ye girerek Sünnileri öldürmekle iştigal etmişler! Oysa bunun tam tersi olduğu, Suriye ye sızanların, İhvan ın Türkiye deki Sünnici koluyla Suudcu Vahhabiler olduğu ve bunu da Türkiye sınırlarından ve tabii ki Türkiye de etkin güçlerden yardım alarak ve büyük ihtimalle derin devletin de bilgi ve desteğiyle yaptığı herkesçe biliniyor.. Çünkü İran ın Şiicilik yapmadığı,bilakis, İslam davası için her yerde kendisini tehlikeye attığı, Sünni olan Filistin le Afganistan a tam 33 yıldır hiçbir Sünni devletin yapmadığı kadar yardım ettiği, halkının sofrasını bu ülkelerdeki Sünni Sayfa 15

Türk basınında Obama dan pek bir nezaketle sözedilir ve sayın ön eki ihmal edilmezken, İran ve Suriye nin Şii ve Alevi liklerinin sürekli ön plana çıkarılması da, AKP medyasının son günlerdeki iğrenç çarkediş politikalarının medya ayağı olarak dikkat çekiyor..

19 be based on wording of UN resolution, which is still uncertain. BRUSSELS - The European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, says she is not sure that there will be a vote in the United Nations in September on recognition of a Palestinian state and that the wording of the resolution is still uncertain. "It will depend very much on what the resolution says as to how the international community in general and the EU in particular, votes," Ashton told Haaretz in an interview this week in her office in the EU headquarters in Brussels. European High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton at the end of an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels March 21, Ashton said: "It's quite possible that that there could be a vote at the UN where the European Union has no difficulty in voting for that." At this time of all times, with Greece in turmoil, the Spanish economy crashing and the political arena in France in an uproar, EU leaders, Ashton included, are deepening their involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ashton visited Israel and the Palestinian Authority about a week ago and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with PA President Mahmoud Abbas. Before her visit to the Middle East, she sent a letter to the members of the Quartet proposing that they accept U.S. President Barack Obama's formula presenting the June 4, 1967 borders with exchanges of territory as a starting point for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Ashton wrote the members - the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia - that the situation requires quick progress toward a solution of the conflict. "My letter was a manifestation of an awful lot of work to try and get the Quartet together, principles in order that we can an try and put that work that's been going on to good effect Sayfa 18

20 with... something from the Quartet that might be able to persuade the parties that there is enough support to get back into negotiations," Ashton said. She said that the European Union has been making major efforts to move the negotiations ahead before the UN vote but that she believed the key was in the hands of the Quartet. Ashton said she believed that "one of the most critical parts is not only understanding why the key issues matter so much to each, but them feeling that if they take the risk of being in negotiations, that the international community will stand with them both and see that through." That was the reason, she added, that it was important to find the framework "that enable them to start talking to each other. When asked whether she accepted Netanyahu's opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian unity government with Hamas, which is on the European Union's list of terror organizations, Ashton said, "That's right, and that position has not changed." However, she said, "President Abbas has always made it clear that he is the president and it's with him that the negotiations will take place." She said that Abbas had stressed that the unity government would consist of technocrats whose task would be to prepare for elections in the PA. Asked if she shared Netanyahu's belief that the turmoil in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab spring does not make for the best climate for negotiations, that developments in Syria and Libya must first be sorted out and that it is important to wait for the results of the elections in Egypt, Ashton said: "The conflict in the Middle East has been there for a long, long time. People need a solution to it on both sides, a resolution to it. And it's I think right and proper for all of us to keep at it. It doesn't mean I don't focus, and we don't focus, on trying to deal with Iran. As you know I'm a negotiator for the Iranian nuclear Sayfa 19

21 talks, and that is something I care deeply about. It doesn't mean that we're not engaged with Syria, where I have reports daily from our delegation that are there, and we're trying to work with Turkey and others and look for ways in which we can put the pressure on." Ashton confirmed, in response to a question, that during her recent meeting with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, he said "something to the effect that" if the United Nations recognized a Palestinian state, Israel would declare the Oslo Accords void. "I'm not sure that it's up to him to declare that Oslo is void really," she said, adding, "I don't accept that Oslo is void, [if] so, it would be a different world." Red Cross demands Hamas prove Shalit is alive International aid agency's unusual public appeal comes just nearly five years to the day the soldier was captured by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid from Gaza. GENEVA, June 23 (Reuters) - The International Red Cross on Thursday urged Hamas to provide proof abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit is still alive. The independent aid agency, in an unusual public appeal, said that Shalit's family had a right under international humanitarian law to be in contact with their 24-year-old son, who has been held incommunicado since captured by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid on June 25, "Because there has been no sign of life from Mr. Shalit for almost two years, the ICRC is now demanding that Hamas prove that he is alive," the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.

22 Netanyahu's adviser Isaac Molho had arrived in Cairo for talks with senior officials about Shalit, and about alleged Israeli spy Ilan Grapel. Hamas and Israel have been holding indirect negotiations in Egypt over a prisoner exchange deal that would see Shalit's release. Hamas has demanded that Israel release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the soldier. According to reports in the Arab world, there has been a renewed attempt at advancing negotiations in hope to secure a deal which would free Shalit. Israeli sources have abstained from estimating the chances of such a move. Foreign media has reported that Egypt has been recently stepping up its involvement in negotiations based on the plan German mediator Gerhard Conrad outlined in the past.

24 Libya lideri Muammer Kaddafi ye ait bir sesli mesaj devlet televizyonunda yayınlandı. "Direneceğiz ve savaş sonuna, siz başarıncaya dek sürecek ama tükenmeyeceğiz" diyen Kaddafi mesajında, pazartesi NATO bombardımanında ailesinden çok sayıda kişiyi kaybeden yakın dostu Huildi Hamidi'ye saygılarını sundu. "Siz çocuklarımızı, torunlarımızı öldürdükten sonra aramızda hiçbir anlaşma yok. Sırtımız duvarda. Siz (Batı) geri adım atabilirsiniz" diye konuşan Muammer Kaddafi, korkmadıklarını, hayatta kalmaya veya kurtulmaya çalışmadıklarını söyledi. Kaddafi, Müslüman bir ülkeye karşı çoluk çocuk hedeflenen haçlı saldırısını kınadığını ifade etti. O BİR KAHRAMAN Kaddafi mesajında öfkeli bir sesle, "Hangi hakla siyasetçileri ve ailelerini hedef alırsınız? Hamidi'nin Trablus'taki ofisi dört kez bombalandı. Onu arıyorlardı, çünkü o bir kahraman. Ofisinde bulamayınca onu evinde öldürmeye çalıştılar" diye konuştu. NATO'yu, açıkladığı gibi askeri bir tesis olmadığını doğrulaması için Hamidi'nin bombalanan ikametgahına araştırma ekibi göndermeye çağıran Kaddafi, Trablus rejimine göre, bu bombardımanda ölen Hamidi'nin dört yaşındaki torunu Halide'nin anısına Kuzey Afrika'nın en yüksek abidesini dikme sözü verdi. ZAFER BİZİM Kaddafi, "Kalacağız, direneceğiz ve boyun eğmeyeceğiz. Füzelerinizle iki, üç, 10 veya 100 yıl vurun. Onur Hamidi ailesine, zafer bize" dedi. NATO'nun pazartesi Trablus'un 70 km batısındaki Sorman'da düzenlediği hava taarruzunda, Kaddafi'nin yol arkadaşı ve etkin siyasi isim olan Hamidi'nin evi hedeflenmiş, Trablus'a göre saldırıda Hamidi ailesinin üçü çocuk birçok bireyi 15 kişi ölmüştü. 60/ Sayfa 23

NATO acknowledged on Sunday that an air strike in Tripoli had killed several civilians [Reuters] Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has accused NATO of murder and said his regime has its "back to the wall", three days after a NATO air strike on a house in Tripoli killed civilians. "We will resist and the battle will continue to the beyond, until you're wiped out. But we will not be finished," Gaddafi said in an audio tape broadcast on state television on Wednesday night. "You said, 'we hit our targets with precision', you murderers... One day we will respond to you likewise and your homes will be legitimate targets." Gaddafi, who referred to the June 19 strike specifically, called the NATO campaign a "crusade" against a Muslim country. "We will stay, we will resist and we will not give in. Strike with your missiles, two, three, 10 or 100 years," he said. Sayfa 24

26 US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said there was no doubt that Gaddafi's men had "their backs against the wall." Clinton said Libya's opposition was making very clear progress on the ground in Libya. Civilian deaths have raised serious misgivings about the UN-authorised NATO intervention in Libya among the most ardent supporters of the ongoing air campaign. Italy's foreign minister and the outgoing head of the Arab League have each called for a halt to hostilities in the war-torn North African country. Franco Frattini told members of parliament on Wednesday that the suspension of military operations in Libya was "essential" for immediate humanitarian aid, while Amr Moussa, the Arab League chief, called for a political solution to the crisis. France expressed a different view, saying the military operations should be "intensified". "Any pause in operations would risk allowing him to play for time and to reorganise. In the end, it would be the civilian population that would suffer from the smallest sign of weakness on our behalf," Bernard Valero, a French foreign ministry spokesman, said. 'Strikes to continue' On Wednesday night, NATO warplanes were believed to be bombing a government ammunition depot near the city of Zintan, according to Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from a vantage point dozens of kilometres from the front line. Explosions could be heard every 30 to 40 seconds, he said. "Everyone talks about stalemate in Libya, but actually quietly there's been some very steady progress here in the Nafousa Mountains in the western part of Libya," he said. "Here, the opposition has very slowly pressed forward, they've taken villages, they've taken towns... it appears that NATO realises that." Sayfa 25

27 Click here for more of Al Jazeera's special coverage Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO chief, said on Wednesday that the alliance would continue its operations in Libya. "NATO will continue this mission because if we stop, countless more civilians could lose their lives," Rasmussen said in a video statement on the NATO website. Rasmussen also addressed charges that NATO caused civilian deaths in recent air raids. "Since the start of this mission we have conducted over 5,000 strikes sorties, and as our record shows we have taken utmost care to minimise the risk of civilian casualties and we continue to do that every day and every hour," he said. "I deeply regret any loss of life in this conflict." Moussa's 'misgivings' In an interview to Britain's Guardian newspaper published on Tuesday, Moussa, the outgoing head of the Arab League, said the time was ripe for a political solution in Libyan. The Egyptian diplomat, who played a central role in securing Arab support for NATO air strikes, also voiced reservations about the bombing campaign after seeing civilian casualties. "When I see children being killed, I must have misgivings. That's why I warned about the risk of civilian casualties," Moussa said. Moussa said the military campaign would not produce a breakthrough. "You can't have a decisive ending. Now is the time to do whatever we can to reach a political solution," he said. "That has to start with a genuine ceasefire under international supervision. Until the ceasefire, Gaddafi would remain in office... Then there would be a move to a transitional period to reach an Sayfa 26

28 understanding about the future of Libya." Asked whether that meant a halt to the NATO air raids, he said: "A ceasefire is a ceasefire." Moussa's sentiment was shared by the Italian foreign minister, who called for urgent humanitarian aid to be delivered to trapped residents in cities like Tripoli and Misurata. He said the people in those areas faced a "dramatic" humanitarian situation and added that a suspension of hostilities would also avoid "consolidating a division of Libya" between east and west. He said he hoped the European Council in Brussels on Thursday would highlight an end to the fighting in Libya as "a practical solution". Frattini warned earlier this week that NATO's accidental killing of civilians in an air strike was endangering the alliance's credibility in the eyes of the world. "With regard to NATO, it is fair to ask for increasingly detailed information on results as well as precise guidelines on the dramatic errors involving civilians," he said. "This is clearly not part of NATO's mission." Libya is a former Italian colony and Silvio Berlusconi's government had enjoyed close ties with the government of Gaddafi. Italy was initially cautious in its reaction to the crackdown by the Libyan leader but has since played a key role in the NATO-led military operation by offering the use of its air bases to conduct air raids. NATO launched its air campaign in Libya to protect civilians from a brutal crackdown launched by Gaddafi's regime in response to an uprising against his four-decades long rule. a/2011/06/ htm l Sayfa 27

29 5. JORDAN and LEBANON / ÜRDÜN ve LÜBNAN Lebanese press round-up: June 23, 2011 Press round-up for Thursday, June 23rd from the morning edition of Lebanon s An-Nahar, Al-Akhbar, As-Safir, and Ad-Diyar newspapers. Opening Titles Damascus will forget that Europe is on the map; Washington asks the opposition to clarify its vision of the post-assad period. No cabinet consensus over the STL paragraph; Aoun s stances test the majority s coherence. Local News Following Syrian President Bashar al- Assad s speech, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem said that Europe has to stop interfering in Syria s affairs, adding: We will forget that Europe is on the map. Mouallem lashed out virulently against France and urged Turkish leaders to reconsider their stance on Syria. European Union members agreed on a new batch of sanctions against four entities linked to the Syrian army and seven individuals, including three Iranian nationals, involved in the crackdown on protests. US officials recently stepped up their contacts with their European and Turkish counterparts to discuss the worsening situation in Syria. The third meeting of the ministerial statement drafting committee, which was held at the Serail under PM Najib Mikati s aegis, developed some broad guidelines pertaining to cabinet policies on some key sensitive issues. Ministerial sources told An-Nahar that yesterday s meeting tackled the political section of the statement s preamble, moved on to discuss the [need for a] new electoral law and reached an agreement in principle over the principle of proportional representation. Sayfa 28

30 According to the same sources, the issue pertaining to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon has yet to be settled and is reportedly postponed until all other items and paragraphs in the ministerial statement are completed pending contacts and consultations. Following their meeting with Mikati yesterday, European Union ambassadors expressed a firm stance on Lebanon s international commitments, stressing the need to adopt a ministerial statement that supports Lebanon s international commitments and the STL s continuing action. According to political circles, Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun s attack on former PM Saad Hariri was a serious premature earthquake that shook the majority and its effects should be monitored, especially after Mikati and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt quickly voiced their rejection of Aoun s attack. Social Affairs Minister Wael Abu Faour emphasized Jumblatt s position, saying: We will not accept a period similar to 1998 (under former President Emile Lahoud) nor will we abide by maliciousness of any kind. Abu Faour went on saying: Aoun s statements are rejected and do not express the cabinet s opinion. The General Secretariat of the March 14 Coalition said: Moun s statements denote the cabinet s revolutionary nature and implicitly brandish the threat of exile, imprisonment and assassination against the opposition. The March 14 coalition held the president and prime minister responsible for this sick state Aoun is in and rejected their attempts to clear themselves from Aoun s statements, knowing that they are responsible for consolidating his position despite his dangerous threats.

31 The third meeting: Finance, development and the STL is postponed. Local News Having emphasized the army-people- Resistance trio, the ministerial statement drafting committee was able to address political matters freely yesterday and turned to financial and development issues. However, the golden item, i.e. the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, was not discussed. According to SANA, the two men discussed the situation in Lebanon and current events in Syria. The Progressive Socialist Party announced that a meeting was held the day before last between Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt and US Ambassador to Lebanon Maura Connelly and continued over dinner in Connelly s honor at Jumblatt s Clemenceau residence. Upon entering the Serail, Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said that the committee meetings are conclusive and predicted that discussions will end anytime today or tomorrow. Speaker Nabih Berri deemed that the United States position regarding the cabinet is ambiguous, saying: What the Hariri cabinet was allowed to do is strangely no longer acceptable for the Mikati cabinet, and this proves this *ambivalent+ position. Syrian President Bashar al-assad noticeably welcomed objecting State Minister Talal Arslan yesterday. Opening Titles The ministerial statement: Economic discrepancies and proportional representation in elections. Local News Circles close to PM Najib Mikati said that the ministerial statement drafting committee is holding friendly and fruitful discussions.
