Lahoud: What is Taking Place in Syria Is A Desperate Attempt to Fragment the Country

Former Lebanese President Emile Lahoud said what is taking place in Syria is a desperate attempt to fragment this strong state whose people and army are united around their leadership to face the proxy war waged by the Arabs and Turks.

In a statement issued by his press office, Lahoud pointed out to the international community’s keenness on stability in Lebanon, adding that the international community has overlooked the fact that the best way to ward off sedition and achieve stability in Lebanon is to stop the global war against Syria.

He said that it is time for the international community and some Lebanese officials to realize that the destiny of Syria and Lebanon is one.

Head of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party in Lebanon, Ali Qanso, said that his meeting with Lahoud focused on the latest developments in the region, with the two sides stressing that what Syria faces is a destructive war against the Syrian state and society with the aim of undermining its resistance role.

The two sides expressed optimism that the Syrian leadership, army and the majority of the Syrian people will foil the conspiracy and come out from the crisis.
