In order to have the complete control over Lebanon, Syria
assigned Lebanese pro-Syrian officials puppets, not elected from the
people of Lebanon but totally assigned from Syria, in order to
manipulate them.
Syria and these Lebanese officials puppets signed the treaty that
gave Syria more power than before, and even a complete power over
Lebanon.
The following is an exact translation of this puppet treaty with
the terrorist government of Syria:
