The European Council of the Cedar’s Revolution met at ArDO headquarter in Sweden.

The tour included a 2 day of interior meetings on Friday and Saturday plus a Sunday mass in the St. Peter and Paul Church in Hallunda. The mass was followed by an open meeting with the Aramean  and Middle Eastern community.

On the last day the ECCR got to do a round tour in the Swedish Parliament meeting members of parliament from the ruling coalition and the biggest opposition party.

In the conference that gathered participants representing the European Council of the Cedar’s Revolution from different EU-countries (among others: the Aramean Democratic Organisation ArDO, the Guardians of the Cedars, the Lebanese Freedom Organisation and other Lebanese activists), the gathering started to discuss the different issues on the agenda.

The declaration:

The ECCR will:

  1. Struggle to re-establish the Lebanese Identity to the State of Lebanon.
  2. Continue its efforts toward the EU and UN in order to implement all the goals of the Cedar Revolution of 2005.
  3. Continue its efforts towards the full implementation of the UNSCR 1559, even under the chapter seven in the United Nations.
  4. Support the Lebanese MPs who struggle for the freedom of all Lebanese prisoners of war in Syrian jails.
  5. Support the Lebanese MPs who struggle for the honourable return of the members in the South-Lebanese Army from Israel and other refugee lands.
