BEIRUT - Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Wednesday that Syria has not changed its policy on relations with Lebanon.

"The Lebanese people had expected a more serious approach by Syria to the issue of relations with Lebanon”, Geagea said as a comment on Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem's recent remarks.

"Muallem's remarks gave us the feeling that the Syrian policy has not changed in its concept of the joint relations and dealing with Lebanon," Geagea said.

Geagea said Mouallem tried to imply that the Lebanese Army "had occupied Syria for 30 years and carried out acts of abduction targeting Syrian citizens."

Syria's "rejection of demarcating its borders with Lebanon prevents regaining of Shebaa Farms," Geagea added.

He further said that Mouallem did not formulate a clear stance on redrawing the border. “Mouallem’s positions on the Shebaa Farms are illogical. We are calling for redrawing the border around the land to end the Israeli occupation of it, and Mouallem says that placing the territory under UN supervision is useless, bearing in mind that if this happens, the land will belong to Lebanon.”
