BEIRUT, Nov 23 (NNN-NNA) – Russian Ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, slammed the U.S. disruptive role in Lebanon, local media reported.
“What we see in Lebanon today is America’s subversive role in the country and nothing more,” Zasypkin was quoted as saying, by Elnashra, an online newspaper.
The ambassador said that “there are foreign powers taking advantage of the protests happening in Lebanon, to implement their agendas.”
Lebanon is witnessing nationwide protests for more than a month, which is aimed at changing the current ruling political class.
Hezbollah and several of its allies have, on many occasions, accused the United States for standing behind Lebanon’s protests, to get rid of Hezbollah’s representation in the government and disarm the Shiite political party.
