"..The court would most probably continue but without Lebanese cooperation .."

"... Salameh stressed that Syrian President Bashar Assad's interview with the Wall Street Journal, in which he mentioned how the shape of the Lebanese government should be, was a clear change in regional policies that would have repercussions on the international tribunal and Lebanon's foreign policy and its security situation.
Asked if he believed Premier-designate Najib Miqati was a centrist, the former minister said: "He might be a centrist but he has to implement what political forces ask from him."
He described the collapse of the Hariri government and the future formation of a cabinet by Miqati as a "change in the balance of power."
When asked about the indictment in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination case, Salameh said: "I don't know anything about it … The court would most probably continue (to function) but without Lebanese cooperation."..."
