Bassil delivered a speech in which he said “October 13 is engraved in our memory because, unlike how some described it as a nightmare for Lebanon, we see it as life and resurrection of the homeland.”

“We will strive to revive Lebanon and the pact, because without the pact the country would not exist,” Bassil pledged.
