60,000 people participated in a rally in Beirut to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, editor-in-chief of Beirut-based Aztag newspaper Shahan Kandaharian said.

“The three fundamental Armenian parties, members of the Lebanese parliament and politicians participated in the rally that started from the residence of Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I. The speakers stressed the necessity of worldwide recognition of the Armenian Genocide and condemnation of Turkey by the international community,” Mr. Kandaharian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

He also informed that Beirut hosted some cultural events dedicated to this mournful date. Specifically, Armenian Genocide documentaries from German archives were screened.
