    Within the framework of his Diaspora tour, Serzh Sargsyan visited the
    Lebanese capital of Beirut where he was greeted with signs reading
    "No to Protocols" starting at the airport.

    "No to Anti-Armenian Protocols", "Genocide can't be questioned",
    "We need new Vardans and Vasaks", "No to Preconditions" and other
    slogans and signs greeted the Armenian delegation.

    According to "Azdak" newspaper, thousands of Lebanese Armenians
    are holding a protest as we speak and they are not only waving the
    tricolor, but black flags with the word "no" on them.

    Lebanese Armenian youth are holding a sit-down strike near the "Habtur"
    hotel where Serzh Sargsyan's delegation has arrived.

    At 4 p.m. local time, the Beirut Armenians of Purch Hamud had declared
    a workers' strike.

    Let us also mention that a candle-lighting ceremony took place in
    Lebanon yesterday during which it was emphasized that the issue is
    pan-national and it is necessary to take the Diaspora's opinion into
    account as well.
