Berri’s Initiative: Made In Syria

According to Alhayat, Syria has claimed ownership of Berri’s initiative and is waiting for Washington and Riad’s reply:

???? ???? ??????? ????????? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ????? ?????????? ?? «??????»? ?????? ?? ????? ?? ???? ????????? ???????? ????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ?? ???? ????? ?????? ?????? ?? ?????? ??? ?? ??? ????????? ??????? ?? ????? ???? ?? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ????? ??????? ?? ??? ????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ?????????. ?????? ??????? ????? ?? ????????? ???????? ?????? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ???? ???? ????? ???? ?? ????? ???????? ???? ???? ???? ??? ???????? ??????? ???????? ??????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?? ????? ?????.

Brief translation: Syrian officials told the French Ambassador in Damascus that Mr Berri’s initiative was the gesture of Goodwill that Syria had promised France, and that the ball is now in the court of Washington and Riad to “move in Syria’s direction”

So much for Berri’s “100% Lebanese” initiative..
