Dispute between Murr, Tashnag, Pakradonian Affirms Continuation of Alliance with Aoun
MP Michel Murr believed that MP Hagop Pakradonian would not have become a deputy in northern Metn had he not won a vacant and uncontested seat.
Murr pointed that 95 percent of Tashnag’s votes were distributed between candidate Ghassan Rahbani and MP Ghassan Mkheiber “with the aim of toppling him.”
He said only about 1,000 Armenian citizens voted for him. “This figure did not lead to my success,” Murr said.
Pakradonian, disagreed, saying: “Had it not been for Tashnag’s votes, Murr wouldn’t have won.”
Pakradonian stressed the “continuation of the alliance” with Gen. Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement.
Tashnag Secretary-General Hovic Mukhtarian pointed that 13,700 Armenians voted in northern Metn, 10,900 of which were Tashnag supporters.
He said 2,200 votes went to Murr, adding that “we had warned that the Armenian mood was not so enthusiastic about voting for Murr.”
Mukhtarian pointed that 6,740 Armenians have voted in Beirut 1 district, of which 5,026 votes went to Tashnag.

by Gebran Sons for Cedar Revolution IIThe Tashnag needs a real internal discussion and a reevaluation of its political objectives and alignments. It has allowed a handful of individuals to hijack the Armenian community traditional stand with the president to align it with demagogue leaders bent on destroying Lebanon, sacrificing our freedom and democracy, chain us to permanent wars and Iran’s nuclear nirvana, and resurrect Syrian agents in Lebanon be via SSNP, mafia politics or other apologists for Syria like the Village idiot. Tashnag has allied itself with Aoun, Nassrallah, Franjieh and SSNP all sharing the same despotic traits: destruction instead of construction, criticizing instead of proposing solutions, searching the past for war skeletons instead of building for a new future, personal attacks on others instead of building bridges, oppression instead of freedom, excuses instead of accomplishments, slogans instance of substance. Strategically, they are all bankrupt like betting on Apartheid just before it is dismantled. No one in Lebanon’s history has hurt our freedom and democracy or promoted Syrian and Iranian foreign influences more than Hizbollah and Aoun. As for Aoun, he wouldn’t recognize reforms even if it hit him on the head. Let him first disclose his assets and bank accounts and refuse all political appointments to gain a minimum of credibility. Aoun has always sold Lebanon to the highest bidder, being Saddam, Nassrallah, Assad or Ahmadinajad and his influence peddling is the worst form of corruption. He gets the Nobel price for both maybe only challenged by Suleiman Franjieh, the unquestionable mafia king of Lebanon. Anyway, he resounding loss in 2009 elections should serve as a walk up call to Tashnag! Being a sore looser will not help!
Michel Murr should learn from his son
by Gebran Sons for Cedar Revolution IIMichel Murr should learn from his son how to bring dignity and effectiveness to his public office. While we do appreciate his defense of the president and Bkerke, his arrogance, feudal ways, mixing politics and business, and cheap talks are rejected by the youth of the Cedar Revolution, regardless of his recent change of heart. M14 could have won the election in Metn if Nassib Lahoud was on the list. Michel Murr should never underestimate the street anger for not having Nassib Lahoud representing us in parliament, and Michel Murr is partially responsible for his exclusion. All Lebanese all proud by the accomplishments of Elias Murr and we hope Michel learns from his son about good public governance.

by JOEYou seem to have somewhat of a sound logic and yet your support for Ali Baba and the 40 thieves baffles me; What I am even more surprised about is your attack and name calling of General Michel Aoun; I would seem that people that have logic would scratch their heads and say what the F*** just happened after they see that the M14 gang is all of a sudden singing to different tunes right after the election; They seem to be saying almost exactly what Aoun is saying but with a different spin. Let me take my admiration of logic back, I was wrong specially after I read the following sentence:"criticizing instead of proposing solutions, searching the past for war skeletons instead of building for a new future, personal attacks on others instead of building bridges, oppression instead of freedom, excuses instead of accomplishments, slogans instance of substance. Strategically, they are all bankrupt like betting on Apartheid just before it is dismantled. No one in Lebanon’s history has hurt our freedom and democracy or promoted Syrian and Iranian foreign influences more than Hizbollah and Aoun." The above term applies to the tee to Ali Baba the father, his son and the forty slave thieves. From what I have seen last time I cared, most logical, well educated people amongst the christians support AOUN and the street thugs and thieves support the others.
