NNA - MP Anwar El-Khalil said in a statement today on the occasion of the 17th commemoration of the martyrdom of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri: "The anniversary of the martyrdom of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri comes, as Lebanon is going through a dangerous existential phase, financially, economically, socially and at the daily-living level....Today we miss the strength of your Arab and international presence in order to save the country. Our absent yet present martyr, you will always remain in our consciences...May God have mercy on our great deceased!"
