Gemayel: Syrian Violations of Lebanese Territory Disturbing

Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel expressed his concern over the repeated Syrian violations of the Lebanese territories which have become disturbing on the national, security and sovereign levels.

In an interview with Radio "Voice of Lebanon" (100.3-100.5), Gemayel stressed that the government and the security forces should tell the people who " have a right to know what is going on", about these violations.

A Syrian army had entered Lebanon on Wednesday and headed towards the Wadi Anjar region in the Bekaa where it set up base past the sand barrier which the Lebanese army had set up years ago to mark the borders.

Earlier last week, the Syrian troops entered Arsal region killing a Syrian citizen and assaulting Lebanese inhabitants.

Gemayel asserted that March 8 and March 14 politicians should take the necessary positions on this matter.

" The issue has nothing to do with internal differences, but about the country's sovereignty and security", Gemayel explained.

He added:"Is the Syrian army's entry to Lebanon, and his set up bases acceptable to the March 8 and March 14?"
