collapses and the country is "liberated."
In remarks to French-language daily L'Orient Le Jour, Jumblat said: "Neither I nor my son have planned for a single moment to go to Damascus."
"We will head to Damascus when it is liberated from the group that is now in power," he said.
Jumblat's remarks came in response to accusations by Syrian Ambassador Ali Abdul Karim Ali that the PSP chief had contributed to a campaign against the Syrian regime by twisting facts and protecting armed elements.
He said ties between the regime and Jumblat were totally cut.
Reports that the doors of Damascus were open for Jumblat's son Taymour were not true, the diplomat added, drawing the PSP chief's retaliatory remarks.
