Foreign Affairs Minister, Gebran Bassil, expressed keenness towards the Syrian State, saying, "Lebanon is working for the good of the Syrian people and we are keen on their State, especially that no state can exist while its people are displaced."
Bassil, whose words came during a tour in Kherbet Kanafar in West Bekaa on Sunday, added, "We have previously rejected the establishment of camps for the displaced, and today we will reject them once again, especially that the Syrian crisis is coming to a solution."
The minister deemed that "no human rights organizations are entitled to talk about Lebanon's humanity."
"We care not about the treatises of those living on the theory of international green light," he added, stressing that "the only green light is Lebanon's sovereignty, freedom and independence."
Commenting on the legislative elections, Bassil called on West Bekaa residents to cast their votes in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
"You have to exercise your right to vote, despite attempts to undermine this right, which has given us the freedom of expression and transparency without any financial, political or security intimidation," said Bassil.
He concluded by noting that "some are trying to manipulate the [electoral] reforms that we have agreed upon, which allow voters to vote and participate in any place that they choose."
