Phalange MP: Syria is waiting for sedition to return to Lebanon

Share:

Phalange party MP and former minister Elie Marouni told Free Lebanon radio on Saturday that “Syria is waiting for sedition in Lebanon to re-occupy the country.”

“ Syria still has the intention of returning to Lebanon,” Marouni stressed

Syrian troops withdrew from Lebanon in April 2005 following the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri.

On the other hand Marouni said that Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s visits to Damascus as Lebanon’s premier are necessary to turn the page with Syria.

“We support PM Hariri because we are aware of the pressure aimed at forcing him to fail ,” Marouni said.

Marouni said that the awaited indictment by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is only the beginning of the road and not the end of it.

Marouni stressed that Hezbollah will have the chance to defend itself if it is indicted

“Hezbollah can present plenty of evidence to defend its innocence , if it will to be indicted by the tribunal ,” Marouni said

Tension escalated in Lebanon after reports said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will soon issue its indictment into the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Last July, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the tribunal is “an Israeli project” that will indict Hezbollah members. Nasrallah accused Israel of being behind Hariri’s assassination but refused to provide the evidence to STL. Some March 8 coalition politicians have been calling for the abolition of the tribunal, while Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and former head of General Security Jamil as-Sayyed publicly attacked the government.

    i do not believe in that
    the situation now is different for syria to come back the un and the us do not approve of that also most lebaneese people sunni duruz and christians do,nt want them back
    then again they can miscalculate and go against the odds and force themself in lebanon but this time; if they do that israel will be in great danger and will be forced to defence itself from the threat and that means the end of the regime in syria because israel will coduct a premptive strike against syria causing the regime to collapse and giving the 13millions syrians sunni,s a breathe so they can rise and finish the regime and it will be all over for this regime
    i think if SYRIA IS smart they stay where they are and instead OF supporting ha in lebanon the syrian regime has a better chance for survival if theY SUPPORT the christians in lebanon intead of fighting them and make them their first allies and choose ha to be second
    this way they will gain more support from lebanon and fortify the support of 2 millions syrian christians;
    and now more than ever they need to ally themselves with the christians in lebanon and enforce their power that is going to be their only security to stay in power other wise in my opinion they are on thier way out
