Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat hoped on the tenth anniversary of the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon for the implementation of the Baabda Declaration that would grant the army complete power over decisions of war and peace.
He said in his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa website: “We look forward to the day when we celebrate the existence of a single central authority that oversees all others.”
“We look forward to the presence of an army that alone has the power of war and peace,” noted the MP.
This can be achieved through the actual implementation of the Baabda Declaration, he explained.
“It is time to once again prevent Lebanon from being an open ground for regional interests,” stated Jumblat.
