According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Geagea stressed that no genuine state can exist without one army and one authority over arms, while all parties must assume their responsibilities without exclusion. He also urged Aoun to continue implementing the framework agreement, saying that although it was not the preferred option, no viable alternative remained.
