| Saudi Arabia deals with all Lebanese in same way -- ambassador |
| 2008-02-06 |
| Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Abdel-Aziz Al-Khoja said Wednesday the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was not biased in favor of any group in Lebanon and stood at equal distance from all. Khoja said in a statement the media which made allegations to the contrary were wrong because one of the Saudi principles is "not to interfere in the internal affairs of any state." He added the Kingdom's policy has always been non-interventionist and made it clear his country's wish is for the Lebanese to come out safely of the current political stalemate. He pointed out that Saudi Arabia always strives to restore order in the Arab world by dealing with any dispute causing splits. "It is not fair to involve the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in internal disputes, " he said and stressed his country's track record is the best proof of the accuracy of this statement. Saudi Arabia has played a key role in Lebanon's post-war reconstruction and in helping the Lebanese overcome their political differences. |

| #1 Saudi Arabia has played a key role in Lebanon's post-war reconstruction and in helping the Lebanese overcome their political differences. Or at least some factions of Saudi Arabians did, before Syria blew up Hariri. |
