Hagopian proposes Lebanese representation at Genocide Centenary
NNA - Visiting minister of Armenian Diaspora Heranoush Hagopian,
proposed a high-ranking Lebanese representation at the Genocide
Centenary due in the capital Yerevan next month. The Armenian minister
extended the invitation to Ali Hamdan the senior AMAL aide during her
courtesy visit to Ein-Teeneh residence today. She highly commended
Lebanon's acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide on a couple of
occasions back in 1997 and 2000. Having briefed Berri's aide over
Armenian Genocide commemorative events organized in Yerevan on the
18-19th of March, Hagopian suggested that Berri attends an
anti-Genocide symposium on the 24th of April in order to illuminate
the world on facts of the barbarities perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey
against innocent Armenian civilians with the purpose of usurping their
ancestral home. She stressed need for all peoples to work together to
stop similar future crimes against humanity. Among events organized in
commemoration of the Genocide is a consecration of a Church dedicated
to one and the half million Armenians who perished in the massacres;
among others attending the Centenary will be presidents Putin of
Russia, Hollande of France and the Uruguayan ex-president which was
the first nation ever to acknowledge the Genocide. The minister
thanked deputy Mokhayber for his support to the Armenian Cause
expressed during a special commemoration at the Armenian embassy in
Beirut.
