The Daily Post - Hamadeh: No elections while Hezbollah still armed, December 24th 2011


BEIRUT: Parliamentary elections are unlikely to be held so long as Hezbollah remains armed, March 14 movement MP Marwan Hamadeh has told a local newspaper.
In an interview with Ad-Diyar newspaper published Saturday, the Chouf lawmaker said it would be impossible to hold elections while Hezbollah maintained its arsenal, arguing that democracy and weapons beyond the state’s control were not reconcilable.
The March 14 coalition has repeatedly called on Hezbollah, which heads the March 8 alliance, to disarm.
