Despite Azeri media's frequent reports on Lebanon backing resolution of
Karabakh conflict within Azerbaijan's territorial integrity framework,
official Beirut repeatedly expressed support for Armenian nation's
interests, Shahan Kandaharian, Editor-in-Chief of Beirut-based Aztag
newspaper stated.
As he told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, "Support for Armenian
nation's interests also spells support for NKR people's right for
self-determination. At the same time, increased influence of Turkey is
being observed in Lebanon, arousing concern among Lebanese Armenians
and making them more unified around national issues."
As he noted, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri may visit Armenia
in near future. "Armenia has already issued an official invitation,
which will, in all probability, be accepted by Lebanese side," Shahan
Kandaharian said, adding that the visit of Lebanese Foreign Minister
to Yerevan is also possible.
