thousands of Armenians in Lebanese capital Beirut urged Turkey to
recognize Armenian Genocide. Participants of the event were holding
anti-Turkish posters and singing Armenian songs. "Turkey has to
recognize Armenian Genocide and make some compensation steps," Paul
Halebian said.
There is an Armenian community of 200,000 people living in Lebanon

The fact of the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman government has
been documented, recognized, and affirmed in the form of media
and eyewitness reports, laws, resolutions, and statements by many
states and international organizations. The complete catalogue of all
documents categorizing the 1915 wholesale massacre of the Armenian
population in Ottoman Empire as a premeditated and thoroughly executed
act of genocide is extensive.

Genocide in 1965. The massacres of the Armenian people were
officially condemned and recognized as genocide in accordance with the
international law by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands,
Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia,
