Former Secretary General of the #Lebanese Forces Chantal Sarkis to MTV: #STL's verdict in the case of Rafic Hariri's assassination is historic, and the court acted transparently; if it was truly politicized, it would have convicted the four accused

Sarkis to MTV: We call on the President and officials to act and achieve justice in the case of Hariri's assassination, but after great disappointments, we no longer expect much

Sarkis to MTV: The problem is the presence of an armed group in the country, and when this presence ceases to exist, the application of justice will become available to all

Sarkis to MTV: To Hezbollah's supporters, I say that “the party’s weapons have become a weakness”, and everyone is a hostage to this weapon

Sarkis to MTV: We called for an international fund in which the aid money can be placed, provided that it is under the auspices of the United Nations because there is no trust in the State

Sarkis to MTV: The United Nations can pressure officials in Lebanon to form an independent government of real specialists; there is no salvation for the country except in this government

Sarkis to MTV: We are in a stage of political "coma", and officials are still behaving in a traditional way as if the people's trust in them has not been shaken; I am surprised why the President has not yet called for holding parliamentary consultations

Sarkis to MTV: There is no solution for change but confrontation by taking to the streets
