Fall of Lebanese govt. integral to democratization: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman
TEHRAN, Jan. 16(MNA) -- Commenting on the latest developments in Lebanon, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said, “There is no concern in this regard and Lebanon is undergoing a natural process of democratization.”
The collapse of the Lebanese government is “natural”, and fortunately all political groups in Lebanon are “politically mature,” the spokesman said.
The spokesman also cautioned the Lebanese against intervention by foreigners in their country.
On Wednesday, 11 ministers of the March 8 Alliance, whose main parties are Hezbollah, Amal, and the Free Patriotic Movement, quit the Lebanese cabinet over tensions arising from a UN probe into the 2005 assassination of former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, toppling the government of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri and throwing the country into disarray.
