ARMENIANS OF LEBANON DID NOT MANAGE TO CONCLUDE AGREEMENT WITH THEIR GOVERNMENT

The issue on giving another Ministerial portfolio to the Armenian community of the country has not been solved yet.

April 4, 2004
The official visit of the Prime Minister of Lebanon Rafik Harriri to Armenia ended. He was accompanied by leaders of the numerous Armenian community which has an influence on the government where it has one representative. In Lebanon the Armenians have all the necessary conditions not only to maintain their culture and the language but also to participate in the political life of the country. However, MP of Lebanon Kasarjyan, who was accompanying the Prime Minister, confirmed that very rarely, usually after the elections, appear some disagreements connected with representation of Armenians in the structures of state authorities.
