Hariri: Lebanon has golden opportunity |
2005-10-12 |
![]() "His Eminence and I are optimistic because Lebanon has a golden opportunity that we must grasp," he added, referring to the first chance for true Lebanese sovereignty in decades. Asked to comment on recent claims from both Damascus and its Lebanese allies that Mehlis' report will be void of any hard evidence of Syrian involvement in the attack, Hariri said: "If it's actually empty, then why is this massive campaign being waged against it? The report will be issued in a couple of days and we are waiting for this report and will accept it regardless of the outcome." Commenting on the security situation in the country, he said: "We all have security concerns and the government is deploying all possible efforts to ensure security for the Lebanese people." Hariri is one of many Lebanese officials who have been conducting their affairs from abroad due to "security concerns." Hariri also said that "some people were trying to create an atmosphere of anxiety before the issuing of the report, which they say is void" of evidence. "There is a result for this report and those who assassinated Rafik Hariri will pay the price for their crime," he added. |
