Syria new rulers say they respect Lebanon's sovereignty
Syria’s new Islamist-led administration “respects the sovereignty of the Lebanese state over its territory,” its political affairs spokesman said.
The Lebanese “should not have fears over what might happen,” the spokesman, Obaida Arnaout, reassured in remarks to Lebanon’s LBCI television.
“The goal of the Syrian revolution had been clear from the first day, which was the ouster of the criminal regime of Bashar al-Assad. Now we want to build our country,” Arnaout added.
He also said that “the new Syria will be a civil state.”
