Beirut, (SANA)- Patriarch of Antioch and All the East Ignatius IV Hazim said "we are not willing for any division between Syria and Lebanon, adding "we don't believe that Lebanon stands alone or Syria to be alone."
"We hope the crisis in Syria is coming to an end… President Bashar al-Assad is working day and night to end the crisis," Patriarch Hazim said during a meeting with the Syrian Ambassador Ali Abdul-Kareem.
Abdul-Kareem, for his part, said that he discussed with the Patriarch issues that concern the Arab nation, expressing happiness over the optimistic vision of Mr. Hazim.
On Syrian military vehicles' penetration of the Lebanese lands, the Syrian Ambassador underlined that both countries respect sovereignty of each other, adding "no need for exaggerating events by some sides."

IVKOURA, Lebanon: Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim said Wednesday that there is no fear for Christians living in Lebanon and Syria but only of forces "working to destroy us."
Following a meeting with a Hezbollah delegation at the patriarchate in Balamand, Hazim said "I refuse that there be fear for Christians.
We are present in Lebanon and Syria, and we have no fear for Christians; we only fear when there are forces working on destroying us."
Hazim added that Christians will remain in Syria and will coexist with everyone as they are no strangers to the region.
Ghaleb Abu Zeinab, a member of Hezbollah's political bureau, described the meeting as a good opportunity to discuss national issues.
