"The President of the Republic of Lebanon, who represents all the Lebanese people, is the person entrusted with the task of clearing the collective conscience," Geagea stressed.
"Clearing conscience can only be achieved through settling pending issues (with Syria)," he added.
"We want to overcome the past. But how should we handle our present status?" Geagea asked.
He said "hundreds of Lebanese citizens are still jailed in Syria, We have bases manned by Palestinians loyal to Syria and we have non demarcated borders with Syria, especially in Shebaa Farms, not to mention persisting Syrian efforts for more than three years to destabilize Lebanon."
Aoun's reference to French-German relations as a model for Lebanon's relations with Syria is "not accurate. France had relations with Germany only after the Nazi regime was toppled," according to Geagea.
He accused Aoun of discussing with the Syrians the formation of election tickets, saying "Iran pays the money and Syria provides weapons, personnel and more."
