A civil war is unlikely to start in Lebanon, Lebanese Ambassador Gebrail Jaaray stated in Yerevan when responding to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question. In his words, now the people of Lebanon irrespectively of nationality and religion are ready to counter Israel's attack. "As for Iran's position, I should say that Iran plays an important role in the region and it enjoys good relations both with Hezbollah and the Lebanese government. One should not forget that Hezbollah is a part of the Lebanese society and has it representatives in the parliament and government of the state. Upon accomplishment of seven items of the government's decision Hezbollah will give place to the Lebanese regular army," Gebrail Jaaray said.

At that the Ambassador underscored that the U.S. attitude to Lebanon is friendly and voiced hope that America will assist in resolving the crisis and establishing peace in the Near East.
