NNA - Regardless of the outcome of talks between Iran and the 1+5 Group, drawing the proper lessons of the "Geneva shortcut" seems to be the best approach for achieving a regional and local conflict resolution, House Speaker Nabih Berri stated in his press release today.



Dialogue and diplomacy resolves conflicts in Lebanon the best way triumphant Iran managed to do so far at the Geneva meeting with Arab representatives, Berri retorted.
Therefore, let us follow suit here in Lebanon, in pursuing full sovereignty over our territorial waters and natural resources, Berri added. Let our Iranian-Arab brethren not waste this opportunity of dialogue and understanding, the Speaker concluded.



Belated congratulatory Eid greetings from politicians, religious dignitaries and top army and security brass, continued to pour into Ein-teeneh for the second day running.
