Mufti of Tripoli and the North Sheikh Malek al-Shaar received at his residence in Tripoli on Saturday Marada leader MP Suleiman Franjieh where talks stressed the need for rapprochement to end the presidential vacuum.
After the meeting Shaar said: “This national meeting carries only one concern and that is the presidential vacuum in the country.
“Nations can not be built through stubbornness, bombings, hatred or obstructing the institutions. They can only be built through dialogue and rapprochement.”
“The majority is considered respectful of the will of others when it doesn't obstruct,” said the Mufti.
“The slogans raised claiming that the President must be selected solely by the Christians is wrong,” he added.
