    Beirut

    Parliamentary consultations resumed at 6:00pm followed in the line
    of positive vibrations palpated so far between premier-designate
    and the country's political forces. The Armenian MP's bloc labeled
    their meeting with Hariri as extraordinary. "We are vastly content
    with Hariri's stance over forming a national unity government which
    ensures the participation of all the vital political forces in the
    country", said MP Hagop Bakradonian.

    "We have unanimously agreed on strengthening security and military
    forces in Lebanon in an effort to fight corruption and enhance
    stability in the country", he added.

    So far, feedback on the ongoing consultations has been labeled as
    productive and alleged to be very different than those taken place
    almost two weeks ago.

    "We have named Hariri as premier-designate over again because we
    believe that he is the most appropriate person for this task as he
    represents the public majority of Sunnis," MP Bakradonian announced.

    Speaker of the Armenian MP's bloc did not find necessary a figure
    playing the mediator's role between PM-designate and leader of the
    FPM Michel Aoun for he believes that the meeting between the two is
    bound to happen anytime soon.

    On this front, Free Patriotic Movement sources said Saad Hariri will
    hold a second round of talks with the FPM bloc on Thursday.

    MP Ibrahim Kenaan said Thursday's talks will focus on financial
    policies, the authorities of some funds, councils, ministries and
    plans to set up a planning ministry.

    He said the FPM bloc is open for dialogue over the formulas that
    agreement should be reached on for cabinet formation on condition
    that they are implemented equally on everyone.

    Kenaan said the bloc's secretariat-general will hold a meeting
    headed by Aoun on Tuesday and another larger meeting the next day in
    preparation for the consultations with Hariri.

    Meanwhile, Jamaa Islamiya MP Imad al-Hout declared that the second
    round consultations wi e around proposing names and the respective
    portfolios for the Lebanese president to consent.

    >From his part, Minister Tamam Salam after meeting with
    premier-designate assured that "the government shall not be formed
    unless all political forces work together and collaborate with Hariri".

    Next in the round of consultations came MP Boutros Harb who warned
    that the "system in Lebanon cannot go on as it is lacking both the
    legislative and executive powers". He, henceforth, called to facilitate
    PM-designate Hariri's task.
