Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is in Turkey Friday for talks on his country＇s political crisis following a walkout by Hezbollah.

Mr. Hariri will meet with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a day after talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris.

On Wednesday, 11 opposition members of the 30-member Cabinet resigned over Mr. Hariri＇s refusal to denounce a United Nations-backed investigation into the 2005 assassination his father, the country＇s former prime minister, Rafik Hariri.

Media reports say the U.N. indictments will likely target Hezbollah members. Hezbollah denies involvement in the killing.

Wednesday＇s resignations took place as Mr. Hariri was meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, who expressed his support for the prime minister.

President Michel Suleiman Thursday called on Mr. Hariri to remain in a caretaker role until a new Cabinet is formed.

Lebanese leaders say talks on rebuilding the government will begin Monday.

Members of the Shi＇ite militia said Thursday the candidacy of Mr. Hariri – Lebanon＇s Sunni leader – to head a new government is "unacceptable." By Lebanese law, the prime minister must be appointed from the Sunni Muslim sect, the president is a Christian and the speaker of the house a Shi＇ite.
