PRIME MINISTER SINIORA CALLS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I
Prime Minister Fouad Siniora held a telephone conversation with His Holiness
Aram I on Monday, December 10. He briefed the Catholicos on the political
situation in the country particularly with regard to the presidential
election issue, assuring him there was agreement on a candidate but
difficulties persisted in the process for changing the constitution. The
main disagreement is on the method of changing the Constitution, with
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri insisting this should be done through the
Parliament, a measure his government considers to be unconstitutional.
The Armenian Pontiff expressed satisfaction that the camps had been able to
agree on a candidate. He emphasized the need to bring the country out of its
current confusion, adding that all other obstacles should be considered
secondary issues.
