Prime Minister-designate, Najib Mikati, said in a statement on Wednesday:
"On the first anniversary of Beirut port explosion, I cannot but bow before the souls of the victims who fell on this fateful day. We stand by the families of the victims in what they are demanding in terms of achieving justice and revealing the whole truth. We call on everyone to cooperate with the judiciary in order to reach the desired goal and to punish all those who had a hand in this crime against the homeland and the people.
"On this painful memory, we raise a resounding cry out of our national responsibility, and we tell everyone without exception that the homeland is in danger, and that nothing can save it but our unity and our rise from selfishness and personal interests. May God protect Lebanon and its patient people over their pain."
