Lebanon remains neutral during all discussions of the Karabakh issue in
the UN and other international structures. The Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of Lebanon to Armenia Gabriel Jiara said at a
press conference today that Nagorno Karabakh is not an urgent issue
in Lebanon’s foreign policy.

Gabriel Jiara reminded that both Azerbaijan and Lebanon are members
of the Islamic League.

Speaking about Armenian-Lebanese relations, the Ambassador
characterized these as warm and friendly. The economic ties are not
developing intensively because of the geographical location of the two
countries, the difficulty of transport communication. Islamic League
assured, however, that there are many Lebanese companies wishing to
make investments in Armenia’s economy.
