Information Minister Melhem Riachy described, in an interview to "MTV" Channel on Sunday evening, the performance of Lebanese media in covering the crime of Istanbul terrorist attack as "good." 

Moreover, Riachy indicated that he requested the media body to "respect the privacy of Lebanese homes in expressing their grief," adding that he did not issue any memorandum in this regards. 

"There is always criticism of the State and its performance, but the circumstances impose another pattern of dealing with events, and any approach cannot make-up for what was lost," Riachy explained. 

"The State's action was good, despite some delays," he added, noting that "with positivity things improve, and criticism is essential, and contributes to shedding light on errors for advancement."
