Publisher of the leading An Nahar newspaper Ghassan Tueni accused Syria and Iran of exerting pressure on the Hizbullah-led opposition to prevent it from reaching agreement with the pro-government ruling majority. "A settlement to the Lebanon crisis should come into being" after negotiations among the various Lebanese sides, Tueni said in an interview with the Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai. "But this understanding is now impossible due to Iranian and Syrian pressure (being exerted) on one side (opposition)," Tueni added. Labeling Syria a "side" in the Lebanon crisis, Tueni believed Kuwait can play a mediatory role in solving the crippling situation. "I hope Kuwait would urge Syria to help solve the crisis," he said. Tueni described as a "sin" the opposition's boycott of presidential elections in Lebanon. He said the assassination of his son, Gebran Tueni, was a "security message" to Detlev Mehlis, former head of the international commission investigating the killing of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri. Tueni said foreign policy is not "charity organizations." "It is built on interests and it is only natural for super powers to have interests and struggle to achieve them and it is natural that this would affect on their behavior with other countries," Tueni explained.
