Abbas vows loyalty to Arafat's legacy
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 08:08 AM by drdon326
Palestinian leaders gathered yesterday in Ramallah and stressed that they would abide by the policies set by Yasser Arafat - above all, the right of the refugees to return.

To this end, the Palestinian parliament held a memorial meeting for Arafat, under the slogan, "The loyalty session to the martyr president, Abu Ammar." Simultaneous sessions were held in Gaza and Ramallah.

"We will not rest until the right of our people to return is granted and the tragedy of the refugees comes to an end," Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) told the gathering.

He several times repeated phrases coined by Arafat, such as "a commitment is a commitment and an oath is an oath," which the late Palestinian Authority chairman used to stress the principles of Fatah and the PLO.

Abbas said he and the present leadership would remain true to "the historic commitments and the principles guiding Arafat's ways. We shall act to realize his dream to achieve an independent state that has already been promised by international law, with its capital in Jerusalem."
