March 14 Hails Establishment of Beirut-Damascus Ties
The March 14 majority alliance on Wednesday said the setting up of diplomatic ties between Lebanon and Syria is "victory" achieved by the "Cedar Revolution."
The alliance, in a statement released by its secretariat general, said the move also is a "major achievement for the Lebanese people."
Syria”s declared intention to implement U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 is the first step along the path of correcting relations between the two states," the statement said.
Efforts should be exerted "to achieve border demarcation, starting with Shebaa Farms, to liberate the territory from Israeli occupation," the statement noted.
It said Lebanese detainees in Syrian jails "should be released and intervention in Lebanon”s domestic affairs should come to a halt."
The statement also called for "eliminating Palestinian military presence outside refugee camps."
It also paid tribute to efforts exerted by security agencies that led to arresting the alleged terrorist cell in Tripoli.
The majority alliance said President Michel Suleiman”s recent visit to Saudi Arabia reflects "Lebanon”s Arab belonging, aside from other options and visits outside the Arab flock."
That was an apparent reference to the ongoing visit to Iran by Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun.
