MP Makari Warns Against Possible Syrian Military Comeback to Lebanon
Deputy Speaker Farid Makari on Friday criticized Syrian President Bashar Assad”s recent remarks on Lebanon saying they reflect "Syria”s insistence on persisting with interfering in Lebanon”s affairs."
"Setting up diplomatic ties between two states means respect for each state”s sovereignty and independence at a time Assad deals with Lebanon as a supplement, interferes in our security and political affairs and in our foreign policy " Makari said.
He called for a "decisive Lebanese stand at the official and popular levels to reject intervention attempts by Syria."
"We fear that he (Assad) would later order his army to interfere … under the pretext of confronting fundamentalism and terror," Makari added.
