    VISIT OF NA SPEAKER HOVIK ABRAHAMIAN TO LEBANON COMES TO END

    NOYAN TAPAN
    APRIL 15, 2010
    BEIRUT

    BEIRUT, APRIL 15, NOYAN TAPAN. During his official visit to Labanon,
    Speaker of the RA National Assembly Hovik Abrahamian on April 13
    met with heads of political parties and community structures at the
    Armenian embassy. The meeting was attended by representatives of the
    Lebanese Armenian community, as well as Lebanese MPs and government
    members of Armenian descent.

    H. Abrahamian spoke about his meetings in Lebanon, noting that
    the country's president, prime minister, and parliamentary speaker
    gave him a warm welcome. H. Abrahamian underlined the role of the
    local Armenian community in this respect: the well-organized and law
    abiding Lebanese Armenians are held in high esteem in Lebanon. It is
    important that they are accepted and valued not only as Armenians,
    but also as worthy and creative citizens of Lebanon, especially as
    some of them are members of the parliament and government.

    H. Abrahamian presented the Armenian leadership's opinions about the
    Armenian-Turkish relations and the Karabakh conflict.

    At the reception held in the Armenian embassy and attended by foreign
    diplomats accredited to Lebanon, H. Abrahamian stated in his speech
    that Armenia wants to deepen its relations with Lebanon. He expressed
    confidence that these links will strengthen, while pointing out the
    necessity to develop economic relations and raise them to the level
    of political ties which are close and warm.

    The press service of the RA National Assembly reports that an action
    entitled "Dialog of Cultures" took place in the yard of the Armenian
    embassy: on the Lebanese soil, the Armenian artists Teni Vardanian,
    Marina Dilanian and Armen Gevorgian completed a single work consisting
    of 12 paintings dedicated to Armenian-Lebanese cultural ties. They
    had started that work in Armenia. Hovik Abrahamian presented it to
    Lebanon's parliament and government - in token of the Armenian-Lebanese
    friendship.
