He reiterated that if the Hezbollah followers come to the streets, they return but if their goals are achieved.

Hezbollah welcomes any solution and dialogue

Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Hezbollah welcomes any solution and dialogue, and ready to do sacrifices for the betterment of Lebanon.

He pointed out to the suggestion on negotiating with protesters saying "offering talks with the demonstrators does not mean asking them to leave the streets, but rather shows that we recognize their right to stay on the streets".

He warned over the de-popularization of the protest and said that a movement started spontaneously by people themselves is no longer the spontaneous today but is being led by political parties and groups.

He remarked that the demands heard today in the protest are different from those heard in the first days of the demonstrations.
