Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to fly to Damascus on Monday to discuss the Lebanese government crisis with leaders of Syria and Qatar. Erdogan hosted Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri on Friday.
Hizbullah brought down Hariri's government by resigning on Wednesday, ahead of publication of the results of an international investigation into the assassination of Hariri's father, former prime minister Rafiq Hariri in 2005. The investigation is expected to name Hizbullah figures, if not Syrians as well.
