The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams said Tuesday that Lebanon is preparing a strategy with the aim of demarcating borders with neighboring Syria, Xinhua News Agency informed.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) quoted Williams as saying during a visit to the northern town of Akkar near the border with Syria that the UN has tried to assist Lebanon with financial donations.

“It is very important for the ties between Lebanon and Syria to be very good,” said Williams.
On Oct. 15, 2008, Lebanon and Syria signed a document on the establishment of first ever diplomatic ties between the two neighboring countries.

The document called for the demarcation of borders, a step that has not been made since then.

It is about time to demarcate the borders with Syria. I am eager to see how many kilometers the Syrians have swallowed out of Lebanon over the years. Let’s wait and discover…

Ask bachar what he will do with FPLP camps on the border between lebanon and syria. Are they going to stay in lebanon after the demarcation?

I hope not. Them and all other Palestinian factions should be forced to hand in their weapons.. they’re in Lebanon, not palestine or ‘israel’.

I hope they demarcate the borders once and for all, not for anything personal towards Syria, but because of all these smugglers and criminals trying to break the law with all sorts, BUT FAIL TO DO SO.

And btw CONSTANTIN, Syria obviously can’t steal a M from our land, Lebanon’s total land area is 10452 sq km and recorded, it isn’t a ‘guessed’ number..

Syria’s the one telling israel and the UN that the Shebaa farms are ours anyway too.. nothing to defend Syria on, but this is the truth.
