At Beirut’s Armenian Church, the Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, Aram I served a liturgy for the victims of Sumgait massacres.

The liturgy was followed by speeches delivered by the Catholicos and the Armenian Ambassador to Lebanon. They noted that the international community failed to give adequate political and legal assessment to Sumgait tragedy.

They characterized Karabakh, which earned its right for freedom at the price of its people’s blood, as an independent state. Parliamentarians, guests from NKR, representatives of Lebanon’s Armenian community participated in the event.
