Damascus : Syria Thursday said it would offer any help to an international tribunal in the case of assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri.
President Bashar al-Assad made the remarks in a televised address to the newly elected People's Assembly (parliament), saying that Syria will support the tribunal without compromising on its national sovereignty.
Hariri was killed in a massive truck bomb in Beirut in February 2005, for which senior Syrian officials have been implicated by a UN probe.
Damascus, however, denied any role in the killing, but was forced to withdraw its troops from its smaller neighbour, ending a 29-year military presence there.
