Michel Aoun...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
stated that Hizbullah's involvement in the fighting in Syria was an "individual initiative" that the party undertook, reported the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Saturday.
He told the daily: "We oppose intervention outside Lebanese territories and no understanding was reached between us and the party over this issue."
"The resistance's involvement in Syria is part of an understanding between the party and the Syrians," he added.
"The situation in Syria is very dangerous and we want democracy to prevail there, but at the same time, we fear the rise of groups, like the Nusra Front, whose ascension to power will have a negative effect on Leb," he said.
"Any impact on Leb will not only affect Christians, but Sunnis and Shiites, meaning all Lebanese people," he stressed.
"We are trying to steer Leb away from conflict and we have so far succeeded thanks to the will of foreign countries that managed to influence local sentiments," Aoun stated.
