Great news!

Dr. FAN has been noticeably quiet as of late, could you please update us Bejin with the latest statement from his office?

what if tachnag candidate runs with Murr on the valentinos list and they
leave an empty seat for Ibrahim Kanaan?

[mickey117]

tashnag will never run on the valentinos' list!
By the way, the son of a very high-ranking officer in Tashnag told me that it's 100% sure Elias el Murr will run on GMA's list.

if they can guarantee 1 in Maten(with MM),2 in Beirut 1 (with MM's grand
daughter), 1 in Beirut 2, 1 in Zahle all on the Hariri lists, practically they
will not have any headaches. why not?
do not under-estimate Michel Murr's magic tricks.

Tashnga's influence on those who live outside Bourj Hammoud is half to the ones who live in Bourj Hammoud.

Between 20-30% of the Armenians will vote March14 this time around (in 2005 they were less than 10%), out of remaining 70-80%, many (big number) will vote Tashnag + FPM (which means Murr and in case Gemayel was supported by Tashnag, big number won't vote for them)

In maten elections 2007, Tashnag recorded their lowest ever percentage in armenian votes.
The only difference from before is they are allied with Aoun/fpm, and FPM been doing political mistakes constantly.Hence the decrease

Indeed.

بمناسبة عيد الميلاد ولأن السفير الأميركية ميشال سيسون وصفته بـ"بابا نويل المتن"، تقدم النائب ميشال المر عبر تلفزيون "NBN" بهدايا الى سياسيين.
وكانت هدية المر الى رئيس حزب "الكتائب" أمين الجميل" هي فتح باب التحالف معه، ولرئيس المجلس النيابي الصداقة والمحبة المتبادلة والتحالف، ولرئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان "الدعم الكامل ليتمكن من أن يعيد الدولة القادرة والقوية والجيش والقوى الأمنية. وقد يكون ترأس اللائحة الوسطية للرئيس من الهدايا أيضا".
وردا على سؤال حول ترشح نجله وزير الدفاع الياس المر مكانه في الانتخابات المقبلة، قال المر: "إنه إذا رأى الوزير المر أنه يستطيع أن يتحمل النيابة الى جانب انشغالاته الوزارية وعلاجه الذي يتابعه فسأقدمها له".
