BEIRUT, (SANA)- Lebanese Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Adnan Mansour, stressed Lebanon's keenness on the security and stability in Syria due to the geographical position and distinguished historical relations between the two countries.

In a statement to the Lebanese An-Nahar newspaper published on Sunday, Mansour said that there are some who want to exploit the events in Syria to undermine the situation in Lebanon and other countries, pointing out to the necessity of that Lebanon has to control its borders with Syria to prevent the infiltration of gunmen into or out of Syria.

He stressed that the Lebanese army is doing its duty in this regard, but it doesn't prevent the infiltration of the armed members into Syria.

Minister Mansour added that the repercussions of the situation in Syria will influence the whole region, particularly Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.

He called for fortifying the Lebanese internal front and national awareness to foil any attempt to undermine Lebanon's security.
