Syria Still Interferes in Lebanese Internal Affairs via Friends
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir has warned against "internal and external" interference in the upcoming Lebanese parliamentary elections, saying the "Syrians still interfere whenever they want in Lebanese internal affairs via their friends."
"Among our neighbors are those who have goals and interests in this country and they are making every effort to meddle in elections-related issues," Sfeir told MTV network.
"They believe that victory is theirs if they or their allies win the elections," he said. "I”m afraid that this issue concerns one party in Lebanon."
"We are with a centrist (parliamentary) bloc" which tips the balance between right and left, Sfeir reiterated.
