Lebanese Democratic Party leader MP Talal Arslan on Sunday warned of politicizing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and the "dangerous repercussions" of that possibility on the Lebanese situations.
At a press conference after a meeting with visiting Vice President of the French National Assembly, socialist MP of Paris, Jean-Marie Le Guen, Arslan called for differentiating between "an international tribunal -- to uncover the murderers of former premier Rafik Hariri and his companions – and a 'political' trial in the country."
For his part, Le Guen said: "Regional and international complications reveal that there is a regional tug-of-war which reflects itself on the Lebanese internal situations, the thing that requires solutions at the level of the Palestinian plight and the Arab-Israeli conflict."
"We also hope the decisions of the international tribunal wouldn't negatively affect internal stability in Lebanon," Le Guen added.
