Hezbollah ready to open new page

Hezbollah?s rivals, led by Sunni Muslim leader Saad Hariri, won Sunday?s election against the resistance group and its allies. The vote capped four years of crises that took Lebanon to the verge of civil war last year. ?Hezbollah has decided to turn the page on the last phase and open a new page for the coming stage,? Deputy leader Sheikh Naim Kassem told Reuters in an interview. ?We will also behave in a highly positive manner and cooperate with the other side.? He said it would be up to the other side to show good will. ?We will wait for what the other side offers. If it decides on a program, a vision and a method that is different from the past and that opens new horizons, they will find us by their side,? Kassem said. ?But if issues remain as before at a state of tension and monopoly (of power), then we will take a stand?; Kazinform cites the Arab News. See www.arabnews.com for full version
