Interior minister: Need to control border, prevent armed people entering Lebanon from Syria

Share:

Interior Minister Marwan Charbel rejected on Thursday statements that Lebanon’s control of the Lebanese-Syrian border came at Syria’s behest.

“It is a Lebanese request not to allow armed [people] to enter Lebanon or [to enter Syria] through Lebanon,” Charbel told the Voice of Lebanon (100.5) radio station.

Asked about the Higher Defense Council meeting which will be held later on Thursday, Charbel said the council would address the issue of the Lebanese-Syrian border and coordination between security forces.

“The meeting will also discuss preventing any armed person from entering Lebanon from Syria [or vice versa].”

Charbel added that controlling the border with Syria “does not contradict aiding Syrian refugees.”

Syria, which has witnessed anti-regime protests since mid-March 2011, has said that weapons were being smuggled into the country via Lebanon.

Thousands of Syrians have fled the unrest in their country, which according to the UN has left more than 7,500 dead.

    What is the reason for an armed Syrian to enter in to Lebanon. If that Syrian is already armed he will fight in Syria. Only unarmed civilian would flee from the war zone. The guy doesn’t mention about the people fleeing from Syria. Every one coming in to Lebanon are armed …he presumes. Its good that these people are exposed as Assads Lackey by their own accord. The situation of today wont remain like this. Syrian army defection is on the rise , the only thing they need are some arms.The defected army knows where the arms are kept! its a matter of time and we will see a dramatic change….

      the defection will happen faster if only some country would provide them with no fly zone which will be their safe haven….then you will see the defection numbers rise….other then that, it might take another 2 yrs or so to see any major defection happening…
