The March 14 majority alliance reiterated a call for a demilitarized Beirut and emphasized on its commitment to dialogue regarding Hizbullah weapons.

The stand was outlined by March 14 coordinator Faris Soeid during a rally organized by Mustaqbal Movement on the first anniversary of MP Walid Eido's assassination.

Soeid said Hizbullah, by vowing allegiance to the Faqih Rule in Iran, "showed that it doesn't know Lebanon."

Hizbullah, he added, wanted to dominate Lebanon by force when it launched its offensive last May.

"Syria and Iran tried to take us back to the era of civil war that was about to start, had it not been for a miracle."

MP Mohammed al-Amin Itani, who succeeded the late Eido as Beirut MP, pledged that "we would confront (Hizbllah's) weapons by politics."

"We've achieved in Doha the target that we have been after, which is the return to the rule of state institutions," he said.

Itani delivered a speech at the packed rally on behalf of Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri.
