Alloush: Ahmadinejad's Visit Provoked Majority of Lebanese, His Aid to Lebanon is Not Based on Tangible Facts

Mustaqbal Movement member former MP Mustapha Alloush stressed on Thursday that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon greatly provoked the majority of the Lebanese, especially since he supports Hizbullah militarily, financially, and morally.

He told the Kuwaiti daily Al-Anbaa Thursday that the above gives the visit a provocative trait making the Lebanese uneasy with the results of the Iranian leader's trip.

He stressed that Ahmadinejad should respect the feelings of the Lebanese who reject dragging Lebanon into international conflicts as a result of his usual reckless speeches.

Addressing Iran's readiness to aid Lebanon, Alloush said that this readiness "is based on intangible facts because Iran continues on providing Hizbullah with weapons through its individual ties with it."

"A state that harbors good intentions towards assisting the Lebanese state does not build relations with one portion of its population with disregard of the state and diplomatic channels," he added.
