YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Armenian
peacekeepers should take part in the peacekeeping mission in
Lebanon. Former RA Defence Minister Vagharshak Haroutiunian gave such
assurance at the September 8 seminar-discussion at the Armenian Center
for National and International Studies. In Haroutiunian's words,
Armenian forces can implement two, fighting and rear functions in
Lebanon. In his opinion, Armenia should take part in the rear and
restore the infrastructures with the help of sappers. In the opinion
of arabologist, YSU lecturer, former RA Ambassador to Syria Davit
Hovhannisian, Armenia "has a great act" to do in Lebanon in several
respects. In particular, Lebanon has an important role in the region,
there is a large Armenian community there, the Catholicosate of the
Great Cilician House is there. Davit Hovhannisian gave assurance that
"the Armenian community will feel itself safer with the presence of
the Armenian soldier."
