Lebanese FM, Adnan Mansour, said that the repercussions of violence in Syria did not just hit the Syrian scene, but also reached out to the neighboring countries, in his address at Geneva peace talks currently held in Montreux.

Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs, Adnan Mansour, said that the repercussions of violence in Syria did not just hit the Syrian scene, but also reached out to the neighboring countries, in his address at Geneva peace talks currently held in Montreux.

 "We have warned, several times, of such a spillover. The region is now an arena where terrorism is on the go," Mansour said as delivering Lebanon's word in Switzerland.

"Even if Lebanon dissociated itself from these events, the cycle of violence did not spare the country. The dangerous reverberations of the Syrian crisis have been precipitating on the Lebanese scene, only to cloud various dangers which have constituted a direct challenge to Lebanon, in terms of the country's security, stability, economy, and demography," he added.

"One of the aforementioned dangers is terrorism nowadays jolting the Lebanese scene; an unprecedented armed terrorism based on extremism, Takfirism, and rejectionism. This terrorism has been activated in our countries to fragment the unified social fabric," he corroborated.

"Those pretending that what is happening in Syria is the result of Hezbollah's intervention, seek to drift attention off reality to cover crimes perpetrated by the terrorist organizations," he continued.

Within this context, he shone light on the importance of the joint efforts made by the international community to fight and stamp out terrorism.

In other news, Mansour broached the issue of the massive influx of over one million Syrian refugees into Lebanon. He appealed the international community to shoulder its responsibility as to this stiff humanitarian plight.

He did not fail to avow that Lebanon relied on Geneva conference as an unmatched opportunity to set out the process of the political solution to the Syrian crisis.
