Syria Halts Contacts With France on Lebanon
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said Syria is ending contacts with France on the political standoff in Lebanon. The decision follows a similar move by France. On Sunday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters in Cairo he is suspending contact with Syria until he sees proof that Damascus is working for a solution to Lebanon's political crisis.Syria's foreign minister said the West is sending mixed messages to Syria when it calls for no foreign interference in Lebanon. Moallem says, on the other hand, Syria is being called on to use its its influence in Lebanon. He calls this a "confusing situation" and says Syria will not interfere in Lebanese affairs.
