Hariri Expresses 'Full Solidarity' with Syrian People
Former prime minister Saad Hariri on Monday extended his greetings to the Syrian people on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, expressing his “full solidarity” with the Syrians in the face of their regime’s violent crackdown on the protest movement.
Hariri also extended Eid al-Fitr greetings to “the Lebanese people in general and the Muslims in particular.”
“On this special occasion, he (Hariri) pays tribute to the Syrian people, and expresses once again his full solidarity with them in the face of the difficult ordeal they are enduring, hoping that before the next Eid the Arab peoples and the Syrian people in particular would manage to overcome the difficult circumstances they are going through,” Hariri’s press office said in a statement.
Hariri also hoped the Syrians and Arabs will “achieve their aspirations for regimes that meet their ambitions.”
“He also wishes the Lebanese many happy returns, and to see their State-building project prevail and bring security and stability to Lebanon, and strengthen the bonds of national unity and solidarity among all Lebanese, in their quest to uncover the truth and achieve justice, as a guarantee for security for Lebanon and all the Lebanese,” Hariri’s press office added.
