President Amine Gemayel participated in the launch of the "Civil Society Dialogue Table" in Bkerke, in the presence of the Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi.

During the conference, Gemayel discussed the positive aspects of the 1920 state and the challenges it faced.

"Initially, Patriarch Elias Howayek in 1920 did not adopt kilometers as a unit of measurement but rather adopted the measurement of unity," he explained.

"At the moment of action, the unified entity of Greater Lebanon was a steadfast idea in history but stumbled in geography," he added.

Gemayel decisively asserted that human error was responsible for attempting to undermine the experience of Greater Lebanon. 

"Do not blame Elias Howayek and his comrades from all sects. Do not blame the founding fathers of the state of Greater Lebanon; their objectives were correct. Our practice was flawed. We did not succeed in maintaining the state of Greater Lebanon, and the stumble in the experiment was not a flaw in manufacturing but due to human error in implementation," he said.

"The significance of Greater Lebanon lies in safeguarding the face of Lebanon. Without Greater Lebanon, Lebanon would have been molded into a Christian or Muslim entity, rather than a homeland of a message. Disregarding the state of Greater Lebanon, as is happening today by seizing the state's decisions from within after external powers took turns in confiscating them during previous crises, renders Lebanon's allegiance as a latent commitment until the state is restored as a true sovereign entity," Gemayel noted.

President Gemayel concluded by highlighting that the significance of Greater Lebanon lies in its declaration of state neutrality since1920.
