"Speaking of position of the Armenian community of Lebanon, we should take account of three parties - AFR Dashnaktsutyun, Ramkavar-Azatakan and Hnchakyan - functioning in the country. All three differ in their approaches. However, when a political dialogue is needed, these three parties are reasonable enough to take a common stance, thus preventing any split among the community, which has always served as a peaceful bridge between opposing sides," editor-in-chief of Beirut-based Azdak newspaper Shahan Kankhadaryan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"True, we are not safe now and the political field in Lebanon is dissociated.

As to common Armenian issues such the Genocide, NKR recognition, prevention of Turkey's scheming, Lebanese Armenian demonstrate perfect unity," he said.
