In an interview with An Nahar daily Jumblatt said his decision to stand by Syria and Hizbullah in the upcoming parliamentary consultations is based on obvious national and regional factors. He said that the Lebanese will receive the Democratic Gathering's answer during Monday's consultations.

"It is good to hold calm consultations, especially if we respect the constitutional game," Jumblatt added.

Commenting on his recent meeting with Sayyed Nasrallah, Jumblat said: "The meeting was very excellent and he is the most aware of the dangerousness of the situation in the country."
