Asked whether Damascus had been involved, Tariceanu said only that it was a "pity" Bucharest had in recent years "neglected" the close ties Ceausescu had forged with the Arab world.
Na pitanje da li je Damask bio umešan, Taričeanu je samo rekao da je “šteta” što je Bukurešt poslednjih godina “zapostavio” bliske veze koje je Čaušesku uspostavio sa arapskim svetom.
