Jumblat Discusses Regional Situations with Emir of Qatar

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat on Thursday held talks in Doha with Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani on the latest developments in the region.

During his visit to Qatar, Jumblat told the Doha-based satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera that “violence will only breed violence in Syria,” reiterating his warning that the revolt-hit country might descend into a “civil war.”

He urged Damascus’ key allies Iran and Russia to “launch an initiative to rescue the country from violence and civil war.”

“I’m concerned with Syria and not the regime,” Jumblat added.
