‘Lebanon rejects intervention in Syria’

Mansour said in an interview with the Lebanese As-Safir newspaper published on Saturday Beirut favors “security and stability for Syria.”

“Is it shameful to wish security and stability for Syria? Is it shameful to reject foreign intervention in Syrian affairs? Is it shameful to reject economic and trade sanctions on Syria?” Mansour told As-Safir.

The latest remarks by the Lebanese foreign minister come a few weeks after Lebanon boycotted a meeting of the so-called “Friends of Syria” group in Tunisia held on February 24.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011.

The West and the Syrian opposition blame Damascus for the turmoil, but the government says foreign-sponsored “terrorist groups” are behind the year-long unrest.

On March 20, Human Rights Watch said armed groups in Syria have carried out “serious human rights abuses” over the past months.
