The Daily Star - Russian envoy: We support Tribunal, Arab reforms - April 12, 2011

BEIRUT: Russian ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin reiterated Russia’s support for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Monday.
Zasypkin held talks with caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri at the latter’s residence in Downtown Beirut. The ambassador said Russia supported the STL, “a thorough, fair and non-politicized investigation, in the interest of Lebanon as an independent state.” Zasypkin also stressed the necessity of maintaining civil peace and the development of Lebanon as “a democratic, independent and sovereign state.” He added that he told Hariri that Russia supported reforms in the Arab region. “Russia stands firm against the use of force and against foreign interference in the internal affairs of states,” said Zasypkin. Hariri also met with the Egyptian Ambassador Ahmad Fouad al-Bidiawi.
