Hariri's great political services to Hafifh Al-Asad: "Hariri propagandist, Nuhad Mashnuq, says this today in his weekly article in As-Safir: "[Hariri] reminded Dr. Bashshar that he stayed in a relationship of firm alliance for the duration of twenty years with his father, may God's mercy be upon him, and that he never turned down a request by him, due to his belief in his far-sightedness, his political wisdom, and the historicity of his leadership. And that in an attempt by ra'is Hariri, to refresh the memory of the young president regarding the great political services that he had presented to the Syrian regime throughout these years."
