SYRIA CALLS FOR USA NOT TO PROVOKE LEBANESE PEOPLE AGAINST FOREIGNERS
Revolution Is Expected to Take Place in Lebanon
Tony Snow, Press Secretary of the White House, stated that Syria,
Iran and Hezbollah decided to fight the current rebellion in
Lebanon. The Bush Administration keeps stating that Syria tries
to hamper investigation of the former Lebanese PM Raffik Hariri's
assassination case at the international court.
The abovementioned statement of the Bush Administration is conditioned
by the deepening tension in Lebanon. BBC informed that the latter is
caused by Hezbollah's demand to have 1/3 of the parliament seats. The
movement also demand right for veto. If the demand is met, the movement
can hinder the international court investigation. In case the demand
is refused, thousand of supporters of the movement may express their
protest in the streets of Beirut.
The American fear that the destabilization of the situation in Lebanon
may deprive pro-Western PM Fouad Siniora of his power collapse of the
power. US Embassy to Syria has denied the information that a revolution
is being prepared in the country. The France Press informed that the
Syrian diplomats stated that the suppositions of the USA are merely
ridiculous. They even accused USA in destabilizing the situation
in Lebanon.
"It's a shame that being a super-power, the USA conducts such
a miserable policy. The inner situation of Lebanon is concern of
Lebanon, solely. The Syrian diplomats stated that Syria supports the
self-governance and doesn't intend to interfere with the home policy
of the country. Moreover, the Syrian diplomats called for the USA to
keep the rules of proper behavior and not to provoke Lebanese people
against each other and against other states.
