| Lebanon UN mission denies any agreement with Syria over Shebaa |
| 2007-07-23 |
| The Lebanese mission at the UN is preparing a response to the statement made by Syrian ambassador to the UN , Bashar el Jaafari, in which he claims that Lebanon has agreed prior to last summer war to delay the border demarcation until Golan Heights are liberated , An Nahar newspaper was told. The mission spokesman told, An Nahar that there is no truth to the Syrian statement , since Lebanon is adamant on implementing UN resolution 1701 and is trying to get the Sheba farms transferred from Israel to the UN to enable Lebanon at a later stage to reclaim them. According to the Lebanese mission at the UN , the Frenchman that drew the maps under UN supervision was able to revert to the original French documents ( when Lebanon was under the French mandate ) and was able to substantiate the fact that these farms belong to Lebanon and not Syria. The French expert will be visiting Beirut soon to re-confirm that the farms belong to Lebanon. |
