“We cannot give up on reconciliation of Christian parties .” Gemayel said.

This comes after Central News Agency (CNA) reported on Tuesday that upon his return to his residence in Maarab from the Bkirki meeting , Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea ordered his media department and all those concerned to show FPM and Marada Movement the same courtesy they show to the Phalange and National Liberal Parties and the National bloc.
