BEIRUT: Caretaker Minister of Telecommunications Nicolas Sehnaoui
announced Tuesday the commission of a stamp to honor the martyrs of
the Armenian Genocide in 1915.
Lebanon has a large and vocal Armenian community with around 200,000
Lebanese of Armenian origin in the country, a result of forced
displacement after the partition of the Ottoman Empire at the end of
the World War I.
While Turkey still resolutely denies genocide took place, last April
saw over 10,000 Armenians rallying in Downtown Beirut on the 98th
anniversary of the genocide.
The stamp depicts a drawing of a statue honoring Armenian martyrs
found in Bikfaya.
The stamp will be in circulation in a month's time.
