Berlin - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday accused Syria of a lack of cooperation in defusing tensions in the Middle East.
'There is no cooperation in sight on a strengthening of Lebanon's sovereignty,' Merkel said, speaking at a European-Israeli Dialogue in Berlin.
'Everything is pointing to Syria's not being able or not being willing to take a step in the direction of the great majority of the international community,' she said, adding however that 'the door' was open.
Germany is the current six-month president of the European Union.
