Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said Thursday in an interview with Al-Manar TV that his participation in Switzerland to attend the Geneva-II conference means he is representing Lebanon and defending the country's interests.

Mansour, meanwhile, touching the March 14 bloc criticism on his speech in Montreo on Wednesday and describing him as Syria's foreign minister.

"Unfortunately, we are accustomed to such a frequent tone. It will neither deter us nor make us to retreat from the Lebanese position," he said.

Speaking to Al-Manar, the Lebanese official stressed his presence was also defending the current government's ministerial statement which included the formula of "People, Army and Resistance."

"We cannot keep silent or turn a blind eye when many of the speakers especially the Syrian opposition, talk and describe Hezbollah as a terrorist party," Mansour said.

"The resistance has graced Lebanon and the whole nation and honored the people of Lebanon through its struggle against the Israeli occupation," the minister said, pointing out that "it is unacceptable to describe Hezbollah as terrorist or to accuse the party of committing massacres."

"Whenever we defend the Resistance, we are defending the position of Lebanon and the Lebanese people. We should not turn a blind eye to terrorism and accuse the Resistance of charges. This is totally unacceptable," the Lebanese Foreign Minister said in his speech at Geneva II conference in Switzerland.
