The families of nine Lebanese pilgrims kidnapped by
rebels in Syria staged on Tuesday a sit-in near the Turkish embassy in
Rabieh, vowing to forbid Turkish nationals from setting their feet on
Lebanese soil.“We will harass all Turks in Lebanon. They can leave the
country if they don't like our move,” spokeswoman for the families of
the abducted pilgrims Hayat Awali told LBCI TV's reporter.She vowed to continue with such measures until the return of the kidnapped men from Syria.“We will cut the road to every Turkish tourist in
Lebanon,” Awali said, adding that the protesters will prevent Turkish
citizens from entering Lebanon every time a Turkish plane touches down
in Beirut.
The families accuse Turkey of protecting the kidnappers.
