Speaker Nabih Berri said that his statement about the Cedar Revolution “killed” the March 14 forces leading to “all the fuss” about the issue, As Safir newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Berri was referring to his statement that the Cedar Revolution had taken the country 60 years backwards. He said during a ceremony on Monday that the revolution which drew Syrian forces out of Lebanon in 2005 led to corruption and provided the suitable atmosphere for foreign intervention.
