Assad: It is natural to have Influence over Lebanon
2007-10-04
Syrian President Bashar Assad reiterated Damascus' denial of any involvement in the series of assassinations and assassination attempts that have hit Lebanon. "We don't know. We are not in Lebanon," Assad told BBC radio in response to a question. "Before these assassinations, many friends of Syria were assassinated, but they were not mentioned. Who killed them?"
Friends such as...?
Assad acknowledged Syria's influence on Lebanon. "We have good relations since we are neighbors of Lebanon," Assad said. "Therefore, it's normal to have influence." He said, however, that this "influence is different from committing crime in Lebanon."

"Influence could be negative or positive," Assad said.
