Lebanon First bloc MP Serge Torsarkissian told New TV on Tuesday that “the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is equal to peace.”
“[The issue of] Lebanon’s share of funding for the tribunal was not eliminated in the Parliamentary Budget and Finance Commission because the [members of the commission] did not vote on the issue,” he added.
March 14 alliance MPs withdrew from the September 16 evening session of the Parliamentary Budget and Finance Commission to prevent quorum when March 8 coalition MPs called for voting on a 2010 state budget clause pertaining to Lebanon’s funding of the STL.
“The atmosphere regarding [the issue of the] funding for the STL is not moving toward a vote [in the commission],” Torsarkissian also said.
