Farouk al-Sharaa: “The Worst is Over in Lebanon – Syria Army will Never be Back”
Posted by Joshua on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007
Farouk al-Sharaa, Syria's Vice President, just gave an important speech on Syria-Lebanon relations. (Some will look on it as a victory speech) Here is more info on Farouk Sharaa’s speech (Arabic):
The following is a brief synopsis written by Alex and an Arabic summary posted on Champress (thanks Alex)
He says that the worst is over for Syria in Lebanon .. the past two years were very difficult … the daily accusations are now over … the Syrian army and security forces will never be back in Lebanon … Syria asked France to allow the Lebanese to take their own decisions, and by now the decision making (to elect the next president) is really (80 to 90%) Lebanese … Syria’s friends and allies in Lebanon are stronger that ever .. no one can defeat Syria in Lebanon regardless of how much support from outside they get.
Basically Sharaa is confident that Lebanon is recovering and that Lebanese Syrian relations will be healthy and very special.
Syria seems to be planning on being very active this year .. the Arab Summit to be held in Damascus in March and a possible Palestinian summit in Damascus as well. Sharaa said he expects Syria will be achieving more of its national objectives in the future and that Syria will not be forced to accept any unreasonable demands.

We will see what happens from now until 03/2008 when the Arab Summit is supposed to be held in Damascus… for the first time.
But my feeling was that Syria’s participation which made last year’s Arab summit in Saudi Arabia a success was contingent on Saudi participation in this year’s Damascus summit, which is also necessary if hte Damascus summit is to have a chance to be a success.
Moreover .. that this year was Saudi Arabia’s chance to try playing the leading role … if by early 2008 things are not improving, then it is Syria’s turn.
