Damascus Visitors: Hariri Expected to Make Commitments to Guarantee Arab Mediation's Success

Damascus visitors have stressed that Syria hasn't made any commitment to Premier Saad Hariri, saying the prime minister was asked to make a bold move to guarantee the success of the Syrian-Saudi mediation.

Following Hariri's step forward, the March 8 forces would make similar steps that would lead to the consolidation of the Lebanese interior against the indictment that will be issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the visitors told As Safir daily in remarks published Tuesday.

About Syrian charge sheets issued against several Lebanese personalities from the March 14 forces, the visitors said that the issue was not subject to a compromise.

They said the charges could not be retracted because they were made by the Syrian judiciary based upon a lawsuit filed by Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed. The charges have nothing to do with a governmental decision, the visitors told As Safir.

They stressed that the problem could be solved if Hariri and his allies agree to refer the issue of false witnesses to the Judicial Council.
