So will the French envoy visit Damascus or not? It all depends on which newspaper from the Lebanese divide you read:Almustaqbal: “Paris: Koussran won’t visit Damascus and Syria must commit to Lebanon’s independence”Al-Akhbar: “Koussran In Damascus before Cairo and Beirut”Annahar: “Koussran started an Arab tour, and his visit to Damascus doesn’t mean much”So Who do you think is right and who do you think is a wishful thinker?
