Beirut - Sana
Lebanese President General Michel Aoun has stressed that the legitimate right to defend Lebanon and the Lebanese position that rejects the Israeli aggression against Lebanese sovereignty is the best proof of our adherence to the constants that preserve the entity of states and their rights.
Aoun said in a televised address to the Lebanese tonight on the occasion of the centennial of the Great Lebanon Declaration, which falls on September 1, 1920.
"We tell the whole world that Lebanon is a peace-loving country that does not seek war, but its people have never retreated and will never retreat in the face of any attempt to attack the sovereignty of the country, harm its dignity and territorial integrity, and do not complain to the Israeli occupation."
Aoun stressed that Lebanon is not a land for anyone who is capable of defeating the strongest armies from its land and preserving its independence and cultural mission.
