Unity Government Makes us Comfortable with Lebanon
Syrian President Bashar Assad said that he "before the formation of the Lebanese government, I publicly confirmed and on numerous occasions my support for any government of national unity in Lebanon."
"Formation of the government is a good thing for Lebanon, so as to ensure stability," Assad said in an interview with the French daily Le Figaro.
"When there are no divisions in Lebanon, it would be easier for a country like Syria to establish normal relations with it," Assad believed.
Assad”s remarks came ahead of talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy scheduled for Friday.
