YEREVAN, JANUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: Lebanon is going to launch a stamp
to honor the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide in 1915,the Caretaker
Minister of Telecommunications Nicolas Sehnaoui announced Tuesday. As
reports Armenpress, referring to The Daily Star, the stamp will be
in circulation in a month's time. It depicts a drawing of a statue
honoring Armenian martyrs found in Bikfaya.
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.
