NNA - A ceremony commemorating the birthday of leader Kamal Jumblatt was held Sunday at the PSP branch in Rass el Metin, during which Minister Ghazi Aridi noted that the only choice left for Lebanese factions was dialogue to avoid strife and complications, particularly regarding different stances from events in Syria.


The Minister noted that Kamal Jumblatt was convinced that liberty would prevail in the Arab world, which he termed many years ago "a big prison."


"We see that we are slipping into strife ever since 2005," said Aridi.


"The position of our leadership was wise and fair...in order to prevent discord."
