| Hariri: Syria is seeking to destroy French initiative |
| 2007-11-16 |
| Lebanon's parliament majority leader Saad Hariri announced that the ruling March 14 alliance had every intention to make the French initiative a complete success, accusing Syria of seeking to destroy it. "We are exerting all efforts to make the French initiative a success and so we could reach a settlement," Hariri told the French satellite channel TV5. "But the Syrian regime is capable of thwarting it (French initiative)," Hariri added. Hariri said there is a "big chance" for electing a consensus president "if pressure was exerted on others." He said that Berri is after smooth presidential elections, however "there are increasing Syrian pressures on our friends in Lebanon." |
