BEIRUT: The Tashnag party celebrated Wednesday the 119th anniversary of
its foundation and demanded equal representation for Lebanese Armenians
in administrative appointments. Tashnag head Hovig Mekhtarian said
the Armenian sect was one of the main sects in Lebanon and should
benefit from just representation in administrative and judicial
appointments. He also asked that the coming municipal elections be held
at the scheduled date all the while implementing electoral reforms. He
also commented on the recent Lebanese Turkish rapprochement and said
the party did not oppose the relation but feared that it would not
have balanced sides.

Emil Lazarian: “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
