(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A high ranked source told Al-Watan Syrian newspaper that the general impression refers to that the governmental negotiations have entered a rather negative phase, with respect to internal and foreign factors, which on their part are not representing any help for the government formation.

The same source added that the aforementioned factors are related to some merits, one of which would be the indictment into former PM Rafiq Hariri's assassination; an indictment with no clear date of issuance yet, despite all media leaks in this regard.

Furthermore, the source expected that the government still needs extra time before being formed, maybe until the end of March, clarifying that the operation of loosening current problems needs a similar time.

In this context, Al-Watan source pointed out that there is nothing new regarding the dispute over the Interior Ministry, although there is a possibility it might be handed to a civil or military figure, agreed upon by Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and Head of Change and Reform Bloc, MP Michel Aoun.

On the same level, the source warned that the March 14 forces, now preparing for their "talkfest", will seize any chance to make the operation harder on PM Mikati.
