Kataeb's Secretary-General Nazar Najarian said that the party has decided this year to mark Lebanon's Civil War anniversary by paying a tribute to the thousands of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, stressing that it is a duty to commemorate them for their steadfastness had preserved Lebanon at the worst time of its history.
"Hadn't it been for the sacrifices of more than 6,000 martyrs, we would not have still been present here," Najarian told the Kataeb website.
"Despite all the problems and hardships we are experiencing today, we still at least have a nation."
Najarian stressed that resistance is a continuous action and not just a transient phase, adding that it is still needed today given that the country's sovereignty is still flawed and incomplete.
"The Lebanese are asked to keep on struggling for a full and absolute sovereignty," he said.
The Kataeb official affirmed that the party will not relinquish its national role no matter what, stressing that it is the right time for it to fulfill its duties towards the nation with full courage and resilience just like it did during wartime.
