Zgheib: Hizbullah, Iran Do Not Meddle in Negotiations to Release Aazaz Pilgrims
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Turkey will be held accountable for any harm incurred by the Lebanese pilgrims held in Syria's Aazaz region, said Sheikh Abbas Zgheib, who has been tasked by the Higher Islamic Shiite Council to follow up on the case of the pilgrims.
He said in a statement: “Hizbullah and Iran have nothing to do with the negotiations between the regime and the kidnappers.”
He made his remark in response to a call issued by the so-called Northern Storm Brigade..
The Brigade had urged on Sunday the families of the pilgrims to pressure Hizbullah to speed up the swap between the Lebanese captives and female prisoners in Syrian jails.
Zgheib added: “The kidnappers are responsible for stalling in providing the list of prisoners to the regime.”
The families of the pilgrims will respond in “the way they deem fit” to any harm that may be inflicted to the captives, he warned.
The pilgrims were abducted in Syria's Aleppo region in May 2012 as they were making their way back to Lebanon by land from pilgrimage in Iran.
Two of them have since been released, while the rest remain held in Aazaz.
The families of the captives have held Turkey mainly responsible for their ongoing abduction, vowing to target Turkish interests in Lebanon in order to pressure Ankara to exert efforts to release the pilgrims.
The kidnappers had demanded that female prisoners held in Syrian jails be released in exchange for the pilgrims.

Yeah... HA does not meddle in releasing the pilgrims. HA does not meddle in protecting us from chiite thugs. HA sometimes is generous ALLOWS the state to arrest mekdad-zoaiter-jaafar thugs.
The dirty jobs are the responsibility of the lebanese state.
HA Does not have any responsibility. It doesnt have any duty. (any lebanese duty at least). HA only has RIGHTS. The right to carry heavy weapons. The right to steal the port of Beirut. The right to sclerose government formation. The right to steal electricity.
Too many rights and no responsibility.

“Hizbullah and Iran have nothing to do with the negotiations between the regime and the kidnappers.”
Now, if that does not convince those doubters out there our Shia only "Islamic" secular resistance and the Islamic Republic of Iran's strict adherence to the dissociation policy and the Baabda Declaration, I am not sue what will…?!! It behooves the common reader to beg the question as to Turkey's sneaky and despicable role in this humanitarian matter. The families, along with Meqdad, Jaafar, and Zgheib clans have every right available to them to respond in any manner "they deem" fit to secure the release of our bitterly missed "pilgrims". Those Northern Nusra boys are delaying the negotiations headed by our GSA Director Abbas Jaafar Mehdi Ibrahim, simply because they know the Syrian regime have no "female" prisoners.
