"Syrians who left Syria illegally do **t have the right to vote in host countries," Hisham Shaar was quoted as saying by pro-regime newspaper Al-Watan on Monday. Some 88 percent of registered Syrian refugees in Leba**n -- **w home to more than a million people who fled Syria's brutal war -- entered the tiny Mediterranean country via official crossings, according to the UN. Syria's opposition and the West have slammed the June 3 vote as a "farce" and a "parody".
