Lebanon the only Arabian state that recognized Armenian Genocide
"The Azerbaijani lobbyists in Arab states are attempting to represent the Nagorno Karabakh conflict as a collision between Christians and Muslims. This anti-Armenian campaign is a menace for us," RA Ambassador to Lebanon Vahan Ter-Ghevondyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
Armenia devotes little attention to the Arab world, according to him.
"Baku is winning the information war and this can have a negative impact on Armenia's relations with the Arab world. The opinion of over a billion people following Islam cannot be neglected. Disappearance of Armenian communities in the states surrounding Armenia is inadmissible," the Armenian diplomat underlined.
He also reminded that Lebanon is the only Arab state that recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
