Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun has said he is not a Christian in a religious sense, but rather a "model" Christian.

"Can Hizbullah live without me?" he asked.

"When you deal with others, this does not mean that you are relinquishing your personality, but it becomes a necessity so we could become complementary," Aoun said in a chat with journalists late Tuesday.

"I am also aware that without a new equation I cannot be part of decision-making," Aoun said.

The former army general, however, insisted that he is not in favor of hindering formation of the new government and vowed to facilitate efforts to make the cabinet see light soon.

Aoun denied receiving any new cabinet packages recently.
