Aoun: Relation with Sayyed Nasrallah Out of Crisis’ Circles, Our Ministers Not To Resign

Head of the Change and Reform Bloc MP Michel Aoun confirmed Monday that his relation with the Secretary General of Hizbullah His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is strong.
"The current dispute won't affect the strategic aspect of the relationship i.e. related to the resistance arms and the need for it," Aoun emphasized.
He also denied that the ties between the two leaders deteriorated over Electricite du Liban's contract workers crisis.
"This relationship is outside the circle of the recent crisis, and it will remain away from the side effects on any dispute over with domestic issues," Aoun highlighted.
On the governmental level, Aoun stated "the option to resign from the government is not proposed now."
"However, we will not hesitate to boycott when necessary," the MP clarified.
Aoun denied that his bloc rejected the approval of EDL contract-workers draft-law not for confessional or electoral reasons.
"We held onto the proposal of Minister Bassil that deals with both the humanitarian and reform aspects of the employment," he added.
Aoun also rejected the calls to transfer the issue of the death of the two Sheikhs Ahmad Abdel Wahed and Mohammad Merheb to the Judicial Council.
"Transferring the case to the Justice Council [harms] the Lebanese army, and we can't accept this," he viewed and noted that "protests must not set pressures that dictate the judiciary how to act."
