NNA - Head of the Lebanese Forces Party Samir Geagea stressed on Saturday that no one abroad cares if presidential elections take place, except for Iran.

"No foreign country is fundamentally interested in whether the presidential elections in Lebanon will take place or not, and if they happen, they do not care who will be the president," Geagea said.

"The Iranians can influence this event through Hezbollah, which has a parliamentary bloc, but for other countries, how can they influence?," he asked.

"What determines the direction of the presidential elections are the local parties, and only Iran among foreign countries can influence and that exclusively through Hezbollah, no more or less, and if the party has only two deputies, the size of its influence will be equivalent to only two deputies," Geagea concluded.

Geagea's words came during his meeting, at the party's headquarters in Maarrab, with a group of activists.
