In an interview with the weekly al-Massira magazine on Saturday, Gemayel said." Lebanon is ready to normalize relations with Syria. However, the question is Syria ready? It does not take any practical steps in doing so, a matter that reinforces doubt among the Lebanese to make them wonder about its true intentions."
"March 14 Forces will go through the 2009 parliamentary elections with a solid unified list. Lebanese voters are facing a historic test; either they vote for positive neutrality, not to commit to any axis; or for a Lebanon that is part of a regional and Arab axis that could embroil it in endless struggles." Gemayel said.
In referring to MP Aoun's statement that presidential powers are at the Grand Serail and not at Baabda, Gemayel said, "what we want is to fortify the position of the presidency not to doubt it."
