March 14 Seeks to End ‘Syrian Regime Dictates’

The March 14 opposition coalition is planning to hold a large-scale meeting in an effort to end “the dictates of the Syrian regime” following deadly clashes that have left several people dead in Beirut and the northern port city of Tripoli.

Contacts have been made between the March 14 leaderships since the latest incidents erupted, An Nahar daily reported Tuesday.

Their consultations led to a decision to hold an emergency meeting in the coming few days to make a request that “puts an end to the authorities’ subordination to the dictates of the Syrian regime.”

The heads of opposition political parties and parliamentary blocs, and lawmakers will attend the meeting, An Nahar said.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and March 14 General-Secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid made the preparations for the meeting during talks in Maarab on Monday night, the daily reported.

Contacts have been made with the Phalange party in that regard and consultations with other parties and movements would continue in the coming hours, it said.
