YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, ARMENPRESS: "We respect the will and decision
of the Armenian government to normalize relations between Armenia
and Turkey," Lebanese ambassador to Armenia Zhebrail Zheara told
Armenpress. He expressed hope that the normalization process will
move forward and bring to concrete results – opening of the borders
and establishment of peace.

"The most important is peace not between the governments but
between the peoples. It is difficult to realize this fact but not
impossible. For a long time Armenians and Turks lived side by side
and time has come to find the formula of living again side by side,"
the ambassador said.

Zh. Zheara said the Arabic world and particularly Lebanon have
excellent relations with Armenia which are developing on political,
economic and cultural platforms.
