    TURKEY AND PEACEKEEPING INCOMPATIBLE CONCEPTS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey and peacekeeping are incompatible concepts
    and this is not only Armenian point of view, Chair of In Defense of
    Liberated Territories NGO, native of Lebanon Zhirayr Sefilyan told
    a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, Lebanon has been under the
    Ottoman Empire for a long time and knows well who are Turks. "Adding
    to it the Turkish-Israeli alliance against the countries of the
    region, it will become clear that Lebanese resistance and the people
    of Lebanon will never recognize Turkey's right for participation in
    the UN peacekeeping operation," he noted.

    Sefilyan underscored that instead of discussing the issue of Turkey's
    participation, Armenia should think of participation of Armenian
    peacekeepers in the mission in Lebanon. "I am sure that the people
    of Lebanon will take that step very positively.

    Authorities say the mandate is not made clear.

    Actually everything is made clear, specifically it is known that the
    peacekeepers will not have a right to take part in force operations
    to unarm Hezbollah.

    Participation of Armenia and other friendly countries to Lebanon
    will ensure that in the future Israel will not have an opportunity
    to lay illegal claims against Lebanon. In case this happens and
    the peacekeepers are ordered to unarm the Lebanese resistance, the
    withdrawal of the Armenian contingent will be a serious support to
    Lebanon," said Chair of In Defense of Liberated Territories.
