NNA - The President of the National Liberal Party MP Dory Chamoun said in an interview with the Anadolu news agency that the participation of President Michel Sleiman in the Arab summit is of major importance to prove the existence of Lebanon.



He added that the Lebanese President's sitting at the same table with the representative of the Syrian opposition, Moaz Al-Khatib, does not constitute recognition of the said opposition.



Chamoun rejected the requests demanding Sleiman's withdrawal from the Arab summit because of the presence of the Syrian opposition, uttering his party's support to the latter.
