Armenia-Turkey Protocols discussed in Lebanon
A seminar on Armenia -Turkey rapprochement was organized in Lebanon. Shahan Kandaharian, Editor-in-Chief of Beirut-based "Aztag" newspaper, drew audience's attention to Turkish government's diplomacy. "Turkey's political gamble aims to spread discord between Armenia and Diaspora," he stated.

In his statement, Shahan Kandaharian briefed the audience on Protocols' contents and their possible threats to Armenia.
Touching upon Karabakh issue, he noted: "Armenia considers Karabakh an independent state to never be returned to Azerbaijan. Every one: Armenian President, Premier and Armenian people are firm as to their positions. To Armenia, Karabakh is an Armenian land."
