Al Seyassah newspaper also reported that the recent meeting between Italy's Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema and his Syrian counterpart Walid Mouallem in Damascus did not go well at all. There were many heated discussions during that meeting . D'Alema warned Mouallem that if Damascus does not help in stabilizing Lebanon then this should be considered his last trip to Syria and he will no longer be able to stop the European community from applying sanctions against Syria.
D'Alema also told Muallem " we have proofs of your involvement in the murder of Hariri but we did not disclose them yet" . This apparently angered Mouallem who said "We the Syrians have not made any move yet but once we make our move we will not only set Lebanon on fire but the whole region." |
