Now Lebanon - Ogassapian: Mikati part of plan to cancel STL, October 19, 2011

Future bloc MP Jean Ogassapian said on Wednesday that “Prime Minister Najib Mikati is part of the plan aiming at  dropping the Special Tribunal for Lebanon [STL]” probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“There is a distribution of roles between Mikati and [Change and Reform bloc leader MP] Michel Aoun who is assigned by Hezbollah to harm the image of the STL and disengage Lebanon from it,” Ogassapian told the Voice of Lebanon (93.3) radio.
He also said that “if Mikati is serious on the issue of the STL funding, he should add it on the cabinet meeting’s schedule as a treasury loan.”
The Hezbollah-led March 8 parties – which currently dominate Lebanon’s cabinet – have opposed a clause in the Lebanese annual state budget pertaining to the funding of the UN-backed court, while Prime Minister Najib Mikati has repeatedly voiced Lebanon’s commitment to the tribunal.
Four Hezbollah members have been indicted by the STL in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. However, the Shia group strongly denied the charges and refuses to cooperate with the court.
