Yerevan (Yerkir) - "As a result of mediations by the Arab League,
the Lebanese government cancelled two earlier decisions yesterday that
had led to the opposition discontent," Shahan Gantaharian, the chief
editor of the Azdak newspaper published in Beirut, has told Yerkir.
Armed clashes have stopped in Lebanon but the civil disobedience is
partially maintained. Many important roads, including the one leading
to the airport, are blocked. Gantaharian said, however, that according
to unofficial information, the airport will open soon.
As a result of the negotiations, it has been deemed crucial to
establish a dialogue atmosphere in the country. It has been suggested
to hold a dialogue between the government and the opposition in Qatar,
but those are just talks, Gantaharian said.
Gantaharian also said that only 4-5 Armenian citizens have left
Lebanon though Syria.
"There is no a huge flow of Armenian citizens leaving Lebanon as the
number of Armenian citizens is limited here. Only some have left. It
is also unknown if the Beirut-Yerevan flights are going to resume,"
Gantaharian said.
