Bazzi to Amr Moussa: No Mediation Requested for Libya Arab Summit
Liberation and Development bloc member MP Ali Bazzi on Saturday criticized the "surprising" statements made by Arab League chief Amr Moussa recently.
"Mr. Moussa surprises us with his positions. Sometimes he approaches the Lebanese in a mentor manner, while other times he wishes Libya would extend an invitation to Lebanon to attend the Arab summit," Bazzi said.President Michel Suleiman will not attend the Arab League summit in Libya end of this month following demands by the Shiite community to boycott the meeting, Information Minister Tareq Mitri has announced.
"We assure Mr. Amr Moussa that no one is calling for mediation in this issue," he added.
"We Hope that Mr. Moussa would focus his attention on Palestine instead of wasting his time on other things."
Moussa has said that he hasn't been asked to deliver any invitation to Lebanon to participate in the summit, but added that it is the responsibility of the host country to do so.
"When I last visited Beirut, I agreed with officials that Lebanese representation at the summit should be (at the level of) responsibility and that the government would decide on the level," Moussa said.
