Future Movement parliamentary bloc MP Ammar Houri revealed on Monday that Prime Minister Saad Hariri had informed the bloc that he will not back down from supporting the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
“There will be no turning back from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)”, Houri quoted Hariri as saying.

Houri quoted Hariri as saying: “I, as prime minister, am committed to this strategic relationship with Syria that is built on ties between a state and another.”
The MP revealed that Hariri intends on holding talks with President Michel Suleiman, House Speaker Nabih Berri, and a number of political figures, starting with the March 14 forces leadership.
The prime minister is also expected to address the Lebanese in a day or two, added Houri.
