No Problem with Lebanese Leaders Visiting Syria on Condition They Don”t Choose to Be Submissive
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Thursday said he welcomed a visit by any Lebanese leader to Syria on condition they do not choose to be submissive.
In response to a question about what he thought about Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun”s visit to Damascus, Sfeir said: "I welcome a visit to Syria by any official as long as it is within the framework of friendliness and not to go there to be obedient so that Syria remains in Lebanon."
"This is not acceptable," Sfeir told reporters in Bkirki.
He expressed hope that parliamentary elections would take place on time and in a quiet atmosphere.
