P.M Hariri on Why He’s Not Making Any Political Statements

I will continue [to stay silent] because I want calm, because through calm we can talk to and hear each other, but through screaming, no one would be able to hear the other. We want to calmly discuss everything we approach in this country

Translation: Many people won’t be happy with what I have to say.
