No Guarantees that Hariri Tribunal won”t be Politicized
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said there were no guarantees that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will not be politicized, in an interview published by the United Arab Emirates-based al-Khaleej newspaper on Monday.
Turning to the issue of upcoming Lebanese elections, Assad believed the polls "would not bring stability."
"Lebanon lives on consensus and explodes in the absence of harmony," Assad stressed.
"Consensus brings stability," he concluded. "The winning side in elections could either take Lebanon toward consensus or vise versa."
