Tashnaq Brushes Off 'Armenian Obstacle' Claims ahead of Govt. Formation
 
 
The Tashnaq party MP Hagop Pakradounian said there was no obstacle related to the "Armenian representation" as circulated in the media, but affirmed the party's right for getting a portfolio.
 
"There is no obstacle regarding the Armenian representation. It is our normal right to get a portfolio. The tourism ministry is going to remain with us, mainy with (current caretaker tourism minister) Avedis Guidanian ," said Pakradounian in a statement to MTV.
 
Meanwhile, General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim "informed the leadership of the Tashnaq Party that the Ministry of Tourism would be allocated to a party representative of the Tashnaq, Avedis Guidanian."
 
Ongoing efforts continued on Thursday in a bid to complete an "initiative" mediated by Ibrahim between the various Lebanese parties.

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
