Hariri”s Damascus Visit Not Soon
One thing is for sure. Prime Minister Saad Hariri will visit Damascus, but not anytime soon.
Some observers believe that the visit had been postponed pending the resolution of a number of issues, including Hariri”s return from Copenhagen summit, President Michel Suleiman”s arrival from Washington and a Cabinet meeting to pave the way for the trip and set a date for the visit and its agenda.
In light of this, a delegation would be formed to accompany Hariri.
These observers believe the understanding among leaders of the March 14 forces on Hariri”s visit will be translated in the nature of the ministerial delegation accompanying him, particularly after comments made by deputy chief of the Lebanese Forces MP George Adwan in which he said his group was willing to attend Damascus talks with the Hariri.
Besides all that, a specific date for Hariri”s visit has yet to be set through diplomatic channels.
