Interior Minister in the Lebanese caretaker government, Marwan Cherbel
Beirut – Georges Chahine
Interior Minister in the Lebanese caretaker government Marwan Cherbel mocked the scenarios mentioned in the media on the kidnapping of the two Turkish pilots in Beirut on Friday
, while investigations are still ongoing.
Cherbel said jokingly to Arab Today “the investigation is still ongoing and we still don’t have accurate information, ? how can some people know where the kidnapped are? You say that one of them is in Baalbeck, ?where did this information come from? Is anyone from the media in contact with the kidnappers? And ?if it’s true, tell us as you might help the investigation so that we can go and negotiate with the captors.”
Cherbel said he was hopeful a successful ending to the kidnapping was in sight. He said previously in a radio interview that “all the active parties on the ground are helping to ensure the release of the kidnapped, including Hezbollah.”?
He denied rumours circulating that the Lebanese embassy in Ankara asked all its citizens in Turkey to immediately leave the country, explaning that this sort of decision requires a meeting of ?the Council of Ministers.
Cherbel described the relationship with Turkey as “perfect?” and asked the media to “minimise their predictions to protect the advancement of the ?investigation to locate the two kidnapped people.”?
