BEIRUT, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- "Anything Prime Minister Saad Hariri says while in Riyadh should be doubted as it is not said by his choice," Lebanon's President Michel Aoun said Sunday.

The president made the remarks hours before Hariri is expected to give an interview with Future TV.

Aoun's remarks reiterated a similar position made Saturday, when he said that any comment that comes from Hariri doesn't reflect the truth.

Aoun also raised the issue of the "ambiguous" circumstances of Hariri's situation, a statement from his media office said.

Aoun considers that these circumstances are such that Hariri's movement is limited and that conditions have been imposed on his residency and ability to communicate with his family members.

Hariri said in a stunning television address from the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh on Nov. 4 that he resigned from his post.
