NNA - Sheikh Akl Al-Mouwahadeen Druz, Sheikh Naim Hassan, on Thursday called upon all the Lebanese to be up to the level of this critical dangerous stage and allow awareness, agreement, unity, and dialogue to control their actions in a bid to spare Lebanon the pain of fatal conflicts.



Hassan's remarks came in a statement on Thursday on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Independence.



Hassan called upon all officials to carry out their duties to protect civil peace, spare Lebanon grave conflicts, fortify national unity and coexistence, protect constitutional institutions, as well as enhance and support the Lebanese Army and the security apparatuses to preserve Lebanon.



"This is the only way to protect Lebanon's Independence," he added.
