The Armenian Tashnaq party, which is represented by two ministers
in the Lebanese government, is still "undecided" regarding the
issue of funding the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL),
a source said.
"Nothing is final yet," the source was quoted as saying by An-Nahar
newspaper's Monday edition. However, the report did not elaborate
further.
The Tashnaq party is included in MP Michel Aoun's Change and Reform
bloc.
Aoun's ministers boycotted last Friday's cabinet session, and demanded
the government to carry out several projects that are at a stalemate
after Prime Minister Najib Mikati threatened to resign if the cabinet
fails to provide its funding share to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
The current Lebanese government is dominated by Hezbollah and its
allies, which are insisting that the country cease all cooperation with
the STL, set up in the wake of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's 2005 murder.
The UN-backed court has charged four Hezbollah operatives in connection
with the assassination.
