Article on Lebanese-Turkish relations.

If you read the 7th paragraph you have in essence read the whole article. Certainly the Syrian-Turkish rapprochement has been a large influence on improving Turkish-Lebanese relations. In 2005, Syria seemed prepared to fully abandon claims to the Hatay Province and the two sides came close to an agreement on this issue in late 2009.
Also, the author did not discuss Turkey's role in UNIL force in Lebanon or the fact that Turkish-Lebanese trade has now reach around half a billion annually. Which begs the question of if improved economic ties lead to improved diplomatic ones (In general I think so).
