Syrian state media ignore Lebanese call for diplomatic ties, border demarcation
In a sign of government displeasure, Syria's state media ignored Tuesday the Lebanese prime minister's call for diplomatic relations and border demarcation. In a first for Lebanon, Prime Minister Fuad Siniora has called for an exchange of ambassadors with neighbouring Syria and the joint delineation of their common border. His remarks were widely reported in Lebanese newspapers and pan-Arab television on Monday, but not a word has appeared in Syria's tightly controlled media.
