Politics - Sleiman in Armenia: Lebanon will defend its natural resources
NNA - 10/12/2011 President Michel Sleiman, currently on an official
visit to Armenia, said Friday that Lebanon plans to defend its right
to use and benefit from its natural resources of gas and oil found in
its territorial waters, without any obstacles.
President of Armenia Serge Sarkissian held a dinner party in honor of
Sleiman and his First Lady, at the presidential palace in Yerevan.
Sleiman also stressed the importance of improving the
Armenian-Lebanese relations in various fields, including political and
humanitarian, emphasizing "the role that the Lebanese-Armenian can
play in this context." "The fact that our country has managed to avoid
the global financial crisis and sustain security of the banking system
has a lot to do with maintaining stability in Lebanon," he said.
Sleiman also loaded the French soldiers involved in UNIFIL and highly
deplored the explosion which attacked a patrol of the French
contingent Friday in Tyre, injuring a number of soldiers.
Armenian President Serge Sarkisian, for his part, said the
Lebanese-Armenian bilateral relations were "rich," adding he wished to
preserve and "deepen cooperation on all levels." R.Z.
