Yerevan (Yerkir) - "Currently, entire Lebanon is closely watching the
Arab League mediation mission works that is likely to be followed
by a cabinet special meeting. This night could be decisive and the
civil disobedience may stop," Shahan Gantaharian, the chief editor
of the Azdak newspaper published in Beirut, has told Yerkir.
He said that the commission of the Arab League has arrived in the
Beirut airport and a land road has been opened for them to get to the
Lebanese parliament speaker's office. The roads were earlier blocked
by the opposition forces.
"The commission is headed by Arab League Secretary General Amr Musa.
Meetings are scheduled with the prime minister, top army commanders
and other officials. According to non-official information, a special
meeting of the cabinet is likely to be held to discuss the suspension
of two earlier decisions that led to the opposition discontent. There
are reports in the media that the cabinet is likely to take those
steps," Gantaharian said. He added that there are rumors that a
temporary port could be opened in Lebanon's Christian districts.
"There will be ship connections between Cyprus and Lebanon. Cyprus
leadership took a decision to waive entry visas to make it easier
for Lebanese citizens to temporarily reside in Cyprus," he said.
