Syria warns against sanctions

Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, has warned that an attempt to impose sanctions on his nation would destabilise the region and the entire world.

Al-Assad was speaking on Sunday to Russia's Rossiya state television before this week's release of a UN report on the progress of the investigation into the assassination of former prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri.

He again declared Syria's innocence in the murder, and said the UN probe was politicised.

"The Middle East is the heart of the world, and Syria is the heart of the Middle East," al-Assad said. "If the situation in Syria and Iraq isn't good, the whole region will become unstable, and the entire world will pay for that."
