Marking eleven years since the assassination of MP Pierre Gemayel and his comrades, a memorial Mass service was held Wednesday at Saint Michael Church in Bikfaya, in presence of family, friends and prominent officials who gathered to pay tribute to his memory.

In his eulogizing word in remembrance of his martyr son, former President Amine Gemayel vowed "to continue to resist till the last breath, despite all relinquishment."

"It is not necessarily true to be wrong if left alone in the march, for the path of truth is difficult and full of sacrifices and challenges...and if the settlements were concluded for the sake of immediate interests and at the expense of the blood of martyrs, it does not mean that the march is not right but rather entails more attachment to rightfulness and resistance for the sake of Lebanon," said Gemayel.

"We shall stay on this path no matter the sacrifices, and most importantly, Lebanon must persist and triumph, " he concluded
