LEBANESE ARMENIANS DENY ANTI-GOVERNMENTAL STATEMENTS IMPUTED TO THEM

Yerevan, January 15. ArmInfo. The Lebanese Armenians deny the
anti-governmental statements imputed to them.

As the message of representatives of Lebanon’s Armenian community
reports, the statements are lately exaggerated in the Armenian press
as if the Armenian community is against the present authorities
and cooperates with "Hezbollah" movement. "The "Arka" Agency has
recently spread an information about the "oppositional tendency" of
the Armenian community of Lebanon towards the present authorities. We
assure that the most of Lebanon’s Armenian community cooperates with
the Prime Minister, Siniora, and supports the country’s Government",
the message says.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
