In 2004, Samir Kassir published a book entitled “Syria’s Democracy and Lebanon’s Independence: Searching for the Damascus Spring”. In this book, he argued that Lebanon will never achieve independence as long as Syria is not governed by a truly democratic regime. Every day that has passed since the publication of this book proved the accuracy of Samir Kassir’s analysis. The debate will shed light on the intricate relations between Lebanon and Syria, at all levels, at all times and in all circumstances.
Panel discussion with Antoine Haddad (Democratic Renewal Movement – Lebanon), MP Alain Aoun and Hala Kodmani (writer – Syria).
