NNA - Member of Parliament, Jean Ogassapian, on Wednesday held Hezbollah responsible for "the new era of security crimes" currently shaking the Lebanese internal scene.
The Future bloc MP saw that Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian crisis was only spiraling Lebanon in the shrouds of disaster.
"The day that Iran decided to support the Syrian regime was tantamount to a catastrophe for Lebanon, especially when Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said: let's go and fight in Syria," the lawmaker said.
Ogassapain explained that the repeated security crimes in Lebanon were an indirect answer to Hezbollah.
"There has come someone to tell Hezbollah: We choose the battle field, not you," he said.
The politician concluded by saying that tightening security measures was no solution to the prevailing situation.
"The solution lies in politics and the intention to take Lebanese-made decisions, as well as by restricting arms to state ownership," he said.
