◾ Lebanese personalities contacted senior officials in Ankara regarding Turkey's position regarding the conditions of the Sunni leaders in Lebanon, especially President Saad Hariri. She received answers to the effect that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "has a special affection" for Hariri, which translates into his recommendation to senior officials in Turkey to maintain regular communication with him and the leadership of the "Future Movement" in Beirut. But the discussion took a different direction when it comes to the possibility of Hariri returning to Beirut and resuming his political activity. In this context, Turkey does not want to enter into a conflict with Saudi Arabia, and ties its position to the decision that Hariri himself will make. If he decides to return to Beirut, despite Riyadh's opposition, and work to restore his political and popular presence, Ankara will raise the level of communication with him.
