US: No To Changing Lebanese Constitution
According to Lebanese newspapers Al-Anwar and Al-Akhbar, two American official sources (the States department spokesman and the American embassy in Beirut) rushed to counter Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley’s statements to Alhayat yesterday; the US, in fact, is against changing the constitution, they maintained.
