Anti-Syrian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anti-Syrian is a journalistic and political term used to describe a political position, which opposes the Syrian regime's interference in Lebanon. Unlike the term, Anti-American, anti-Syrian does not express opposition or hostility toward the Syrian culture or people but rather its government.

Anti-Syrian is a political stance that the majority of Lebanese hold towards the Syrian Baathist regime, due to its 30-year occupation of Lebanon, and its continuous medling in their country's affairs. The anti-Syrian sentiment culminated in Lebanon's largest demonstration on March 14, 2005, which was to become known as the Cedar Revolution.[1] The Syrian Army withdrew from Lebanon soon after although their interference in Lebanon did not stop.[2] The politicians of the Cedar Revolution are known as the March 14 Alliance.
