This [language and criticism] is unbecoming of the president of Syria.

There was a president imposed by Syria. Our battle... is to have a Lebanese president that we elect.

independent Lebanon, a democratic Lebanon, with a good relationship with Syria.

Those involved, including some arrested, were found to be people working for Syria, including Syrian soldiers disguised as civilians.

If I have any advice to give to the Syrian president it is to cooperate for the sake of the investigation or for the sake of uncovering the truth.

Let them hold the elections according to the electoral law they deem suitable, but we will not participate in the government.
