/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Israel's aim is to annihilate Lebanon. Civic
constructions and state infrastructure are being demolished, Lebanese
Ambassador to Armenia Gebrail Jaaray said. In his words, last night
3 bridges were destroyed in the north of Lebanon and restoration of
each will demand $50 million. "During 22 days of Israel's operation the
damage caused to Lebanon reached $5 billion this figure increases day
by day. 15 thousand of flats were completely destructed, the number
of displaced persons reached a million. Numerous visits of high rank
officials have been fruitless so far. The war is going on," he said.
The Ambassador also remarked that 8 Lebanese and some 10 thousand
Palestinians are kept in hostage in Israeli jails. "The Near East is an
explosive and conflict zone. It's a long way for peace here," he said.
The Ambassador presented the decision of the Lebanese government
consisting of seven items that should be fulfilled to stop the
war. These are the exchange of war prisoners and hostages, withdrawal
of the Israeli troops beyond the Lebanese border, deployment of
Lebanese army throughout the country, deployment of U.N. peacekeepers
in the south Lebanon, observation of the agreement of 1949 on ceasefire
between Israel and Lebanon, proclamation of Lebanon a calamity zone
and rendering humanitarian assistance to it. "Lebanon receives major
part of assistance from Saudi Arabia and France. We also highly
appreciate the aid rendered by the Armenian government. This proves
that our nations are bound with fraternal friendship ties," he said.
The Chief of Mission also remarked that two days ago the spiritual
leaders of all the confessions in Lebanon including His Holiness Aram I
of Cilicia issued a statement in support of the government's decision.
