Sleiman: State must take Barrack's warning seriously

Former President General Michel Sleiman said in a statement today that the Lebanese state must deal with the warning issued by Thomas Barrack with absolute seriousness, and must take immediate initiative to clarify with the US presidential envoy his recent statements.

He added: "If clarifications so require, an active and clear diplomatic approach should be launched in the direction of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Arab League, primarily the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Nations, primarily the five permanent members of the Security Council."
