Qanso: We Will Triumph US, Israeli Agents in Lebanon

Hussein Assi
MP Assem Qanso to Al-Manar Website:

• We Will Triumph US, Israeli Agents in Lebanon
• We Will Follow Sayyed Nasrallah’s Orders until Death
• Campaign against Syria Not New… Russia’s Stance Positive
• Confrontation is Stage’s Base… We Must Prepare Action Plan
• Syrian Crisis Was Painful… Yet, We’ll Achieve Victory!

Member of the Baath parliamentary bloc in Lebanon MP Assem Qanso said that the conspiracy against Syria has failed in achieving its goals. He expressed belief that the campaign against Syria was not new, and put it in the framework of the economic, military and political blockade on the resistance path against the American-Zionist scheme.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Manar Wesbite, Qanso said that the national Syrian people’s immunity, along with its army’s unity and tenacity, contributed in the steadfastness of the regime in Syria. He also saluted the Russian and Chinese stance in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which prevented imposing sanctions against Syria.

Locally, Qanso stressed the necessity to reach a political, economic, social and military action plan for the upcoming stage. He said that he was confident that the new majority would overcome all difficulties and “triumph the American and Israeli agents in Lebanon,” in reference to the March 14 forces.

Asked whether he would give the government a vote of no-confidence at the parliament as he was quoted as saying last week, Qanso said that he would follow the recommendations of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, “and we will remain behind Sayyed Nasrallah until death.”

SYRIAN ARMY REMAINED UNITED DESPITE EVERYTHING…

The Lebanese lawmaker told Al-Manar Website that the recent developments in Syria come in the framework of the international political, economic and military blockade against the resistant country. He explained that Syria, like Iran as well as the Resistance in Lebanon and Palestine, was targeted by the so-called international community because it belongs to the resistant anti-American and Zionist scheme path. He admitted that the latest battle was the strongest, but kept it in the same context of the American-Zionist scheme.
Qanso said that the immunity of the national and Arab Syrian people was enough to put an end to the crisis. In this context, he also pointed out Syria’s history with Arabism since the days of Sultan Basha Atrash. “The Syrians are the most immune people at the patriotic level,” he said.

While noting that Americans and Europeans failed in breaking the patriotism of the Syrian people, Qanso noted that “unlike the case in Yemen, Libya and other places, they also failed to break the Syrian ideological army.” He emphasized that “the Syrian army remained united and faced, with full determination, the Salafist groups that were militarily and financially supported by Lebanon, Turkey and Iran.”

EXPERIENCE WAS PAINFUL… BUT VICTORY IS OURS!

The Baath Party MP expressed belief that the conspiracy has failed in achieving its goals, adding that the crisis was reaching its end. Meanwhile, he praised the Russian and Chinese role that prevented the United Nations from imposing sanctions against Syria through the Security Council (UNSC). Qanso said that “this great stance consolidated Syria’s national stance and thwarted all attempts to overthrow its resistant regime.”

Answering a question, Qanso said that “all the symbols of resistance against the American-Zionist plot will be targeted by the so-called international community that will always attempt to break their steadfastness. He expressed belief that these attempts would have no limits at all, but added that the Resistance has proven that it was able to change the balances everywhere.

Asked whether the conspiracy against Syria has ended, Qanso said: “It was a difficult experience, but we’re the victorious ones, God willing, thanks to our resistance and steadfastness.”

WE WILL TRIUMPH US, ISRAELI AGENTS

Turning to the local developments, Qanso was asked whether he would give the government a vote of no-confidence at the parliament as he was quoted as saying last week. He said that he would follow the recommendations of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah. “Everything will proceed according to the recommendations of Sayyed Nasrallah,” he explained. “We will remain behind Sayyed Hasan until death,” he pointed out.


Qanso also said that the new majority would overcome all the difficulties and challenges. “We will also triumph the US and Israeli agents in Lebanon, i.e. the March 14 forces,” he added. He said that he would not give these forces any value or consideration from now on.

The Lebanese MP expressed hope that the new majority would put an action plan to enhance its cohesion. “We must also reach a political, social, economic and military action plan for confrontation,” he said. “Confrontation is the main slogan of the new government, as it should face the various economic and social problems,” he added.

HIZB UT-TAHRIR WORSE THAN TAKFIRIS…

Asked whether there is fear of potential security incidents in light of the clashes that erupted last week in Tripoli, Qanso ruled out such possibility, and noted that the national army ended the battle. He said that the issue in Tripoli was not new, and that it reflects an old conflict. He warned against the plots of some parties to create sedition among Lebanese. “They failed this time in achieving their goals. We hope they will fail as well in the future,” he said, while stressing that sedition would be a failure for all Lebanese. “Thus, we should all stand at the side of the Lebanese army,” he pointed out.

Qanso warned against some groups seeking sabotage in the country, in reference to Hizb Ut-Tahrir which is holding anti-Syria demonstrations in the north. “Those people have been prepared since a while for such incidents. They are worse than Takfiris and Salafis,” he said. “They are extremists. I know them since 1956. They have links with the English intelligence and work for the Americans.”
