Saudi crown prince: peace can't be achieved through wars

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah Ibn Abdul Aziz called on Europe to play a more effective role in the Middle East.

Whether his talks in France will tackle Iraq and Lebanon or not, Prince Abdul Aziz said that Lebanon couldn't desert Syria, and Syria also couldn't abandon Lebanon.
