"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Lebanon has become destabilised because Syrian troops have been present in the country for 29 years. There are 14 000 Syrian soldiers stationed there, which is 14 000 too many. Yesterday’s decision by the Lebanese and Syrian presidents to withdraw some of Syria’s troops from Lebanon is a step in the right direction, but only a small one. It is not only regular military units that are stationed in the country, but also the Syrian special services. To put it quite bluntly, the latter exert an influence on the internal situation in the country.
The fact that paramilitary, or, more accurately, terrorist organisations are stationed in Lebanon is a further problem the country faces. I am astonished that the Parliament resolution no longer refers to the Lebanon-based Hezbollah organisation as a terrorist organisation, as it did in its original version. I find this entirely incomprehensible. We should call a spade a spade, and call terrorists terrorists."@en1
