Link

13/06/2009 Lebanese daily As-Safir reported Saturday that the Syrian leadership has reportedly informed Lebanon that its doors were open to head of the Future movement MP Saad Hariri and welcomed head of the Democratic Gathering MP Walid Jumblatt's calm political rhetoric. "Our doors are open to him (Hariri) and to all those who are keen to have a (good) relationship with us. We appreciate his circumstances and things depend on him and not us," Syria has informed Lebanon, according to sources following Syrian-Lebanese coordination.

The Syrian leadership has also reportedly expressed relief at the consensus atmosphere prevailing in Lebanon following last Sunday's parliamentary elections and at Jumblatt's clam tone.

The Lebanese daily also said that Syrian President Bashar Assad has discussed in a telephone conversation with President Michel Suleiman the visit of US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell and the need for continued coordination on regional issues.

Assad reportedly lauded the role of the interior ministry led by Ziad Baroud and the army and security forces in providing good voting conditions for the Lebanese.
