    OGASSAPIAN: MARCH 14 ALLIANCE TO ANNOUNCE ITS UNIFIED ELECTORAL LISTS VERY SOON

    Lebanon

    Minister of State Jean Ogassapian said in a statement issued on
    Thursday that the March 14 alliance had publicly taken the decision
    to run united in the upcoming parliamentary elections with unified
    electoral lists throughout Lebanon, adding that the lists would be
    announced very soon.

    Ogassapian said that negotiations between the Future Movement and the
    Tashnaq party failed, because both parties were unable to reach an
    agreement. He said the lack of understanding "reflected negatively
    on the elections and on the possibility of forming an Armenian bloc
    with clear policies."

    However, Ogassapian said that "political disagreement with the Tashnaq
    does not eliminate common" Armenian principles, and he highlighted the
    importance of the Armenian Church's national and religious authority.

    He said he hoped the next cabinet would be "harmonious and productive"
    to be capable of making quick decisions. He called on the minority to
    clarify its stance on the obstructing third vote in the next cabinet.

    Ogassapian also said that President Michel Sleiman assured during
    Wednesday's cabinet session that the government had to make the pending
    administrative appointments in two weeks at the latest, "or let those
    who obstruct" the appointments would deal with the consequences.
