anti-Turkey banner during a demonstration against the participation
of the Turkish troops in the peacekeeping force in Lebanon, in the
Beirut Armenian neighborhood of Bourj Hammoud, Lebanon, Friday, Sept.
8, 2006. Turkey"s parliament on Tuesday approved sending an unspecified
number of troops to take part in the U.N. mission to solidify the
fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Lebanon"s Armenians,
who make up about 4 percent of the country"s population, have come out
against Turkish participation _ a reminder that some in the region
have not completely shed bitter memories of Ottoman rule. Armenians
accuse the Ottoman Turks of killing 1.5 million ethnic Armenians in
1915 in what they call a campaign of genocide.
