/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Lebanese Army will be able to
worthily rebuff the Israeli Armed Forces, Head of
Defense of Released Territories organization, native
of Lebanon Zhirayr Sefilyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. "My confidence is grounded: Lebanese Army's
will unite with Hezbollah against Israel. This was the
case in 1996, when by joint efforts the fire was
ceased, Israel left South Lebanon with the mediation
of the US and France. In 2000 the same military
operations resulted in Israel's defeat. I do not doubt
it will lose this time again. The Lebanese Army along
with Hezbollah and with the support of all of the
Lebanese people will fight for independence and Israel
will have to withdraw from Shebaa. Otherwise Northern
Israel, including Haifa, will always live being
threatened," Sefilyan underscored.
At that he noted that the Christian block of Beirut
and the Armenian block next to it were never bombed by
Israel. "Most Beirut Armenians live in Eshrefi block,
many live in Burj-Hamud town. Armenians also reside in
Antilias, Zalkan, Jel-el-Dib and other suburbs. Many
Armenians live in Tripol, second largest city in
Lebanon," Zhirayr Sefilyan said.
Some 100 thousand Armenians live in Lebanon at
present. The residence of Cilician Catholicosate
(Antilias) is also situated in Lebanon.
