/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Not to allow Turkish peacekeepers to Southern
Lebanon as part of the UN peacekeeping forces, we act as a united
front, editor-in-chief of the Azdak, the largest Armenian newspaper
of Lebanon, Shahan Kandakharyan stated in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net. In his words, at the community level Armenian
political parties and NGOs will make statements. "The Armenian
community has no discrepancies over this issue. We also hold protest
actions in front of a number of embassies of western countries. We
handed letters to ambassadors and diplomatic representatives,
indicating grounds for not admitting Turkish troops in the south
of Lebanon. The special message of Catholicos of the Great House of
Cilicia Aram I to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is among respective
actions," he said.
The editor-in-chief of the Azdak also noted that local, regional and
world media pay much attention to protest actions of the Armenian
community. "We hope our efforts will not be in vain and Turkey will
not be included in the UN peacekeeping contingent. A country, which
is a strategic and military partner of Israel and blocks Cyprus must
not be admitted to Lebanon.
Also a country, where human rights are violated and the Armenian
Genocide of 1915 is denied cannot take part in settlemetn of the
Middle East crisis," noted Shahan Kandakharyan.
