President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, tweeted: “I regret that a large number of Lebanese officials and media figures are ignorant of the constitution and are drowning in nationally harmful statements regarding the president’s position, role and oath. The presidency is outside the target circle. The President begins negotiating international treaties and agreements, then concludes them with the Prime Minister, then the Council of Ministers, and finally, the Council of Representatives, on the terms of Article 52 of the Constitution.
