| 2008-07-28 |
| Lebanese MP Marwan Hemadeh said having good relations with Syria means having normal relations between two brotherly nations and two people that are fraternal twins Hemadeh said "good relations means recognitions of Lebanon's sovereignty , freedom and independence , demarcation of the borders between our two nations , establishing diplomatic relations and refraining from interfering in the Lebanese internal affairs" During an interview with Qatari newspaper al Sharq he further spelled out what he meant by normal relations with Syria ." First it means that Syria has to end its prejudice against the International Tribunal ( charged with identifying and trying the criminals behind the crimes of assassinations and assassination attempts since 2004) and Second the liberation of Lebanese detainees from Syrian prisons." Hemadeh said "Unfortunately Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem did not sound encouraging during his last trip to Lebanon when he referred to the Lebanese in Syrian jails as missing Lebanese...we have many proofs that there are many Lebanese in Syrian jails" ...Hemadeh added Hemadeh expressed concern that Hezbollah may use its weapons in 2009 parliamentary elections to sweep the elections Hemadeh doubts Hezbollah will ever willingly give up its arms even after the liberation of the Shebaa Farms and placing them under the custody of the United Nations. |
