Miqati Rejects Interference in Syria’s Internal Affairs
Prime Minister Najib Miqati has called for consolidating the nation against the repercussions of the upheaval in Syria.
During the Iftar of al-Makassed Islamic Foundation on Thursday, Miqati said: “Everyone reject bloodshed and support reforms.”
“Let us become an example in not meddling in the affairs of others the same way we used to ask for noninterference in our affairs,” he said in his speech.
“Ties between Lebanon and Syria have a certain particularity and we should consolidate them by not interfering in the affairs of others,” Miqati said.
His remarks seemed to be hinting at statements made by March 14-led opposition officials who have stressed support to Syrian demonstrators and slammed the Assad regime for cracking down on its people.
