May 15, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Syrian PM says Damascus not worried about STL

In an interview with Tunisian Al-Sabah newspaper on Saturday, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji al-Ottari said that Syria does not fear the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL). Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s visit to Syria in December was a huge step in bridging the gaps between both countries, he added.

Ottari warned Israel against any offensive against Syria. He also said that Damascus would respond harshly to any Israeli attack and immensely affect the Jewish state.

This comes after Israel accused Syria in April of transferring Scud missiles to Hezbollah.

Iran’s nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, Ottari said, adding that any attempt to make the Arab world fearful of Iran aims to lift Arab pressure on Israel.

The Syrian PM also said that Syria is not interested in waging a war against Israel and instead is ready to enter talks to create a just and complete peace in the region.
