2009-03-23
Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said Saturday his country wanted stability in Lebanon and supported the holding of the June 7 legislative elections on time, adding that Damascus was ready to hold normal relations with all Lebanese leaders including Future Movement leader Saad Hariri saying: "We have a big heart, we forgive." In an interview with the pan-Arab satellite TV station al-Jazeera, Moallem mentioned his country's relationship with Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt saying: "Jumblatt has to decide what he wants, if he wishes to visit Syria we shall take that into consideration."He said that he had discussed the situation in Lebanon with visiting US Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, adding that they both agreed that Syrian-Lebanese relations "could not be altered due to geographic and historic facts."
