2005 is the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and of the
deportation of the Armenian people from their homeland. The Armenians
in Lebanon and around the world are preparing the commemoration of
this tragedy.
This anniversary will serve as an opportunity to unite our means and
efforts, and to work in a more effective and determined way toward
achieving the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
the reinstatement of our rights in our historical lands of western
Armenia.
A committee representing all the Armenian religious denominations,
political parties and organizations, has been formed. This committee
will take initiatives in order to achieve the revival of our sense of
national belonging and identity, as well as to insure the
international remeberanceof this historical tragedy and secure new
supporters for our just cause.
The committee’s objective is to make our community members involved
in its activities and initiatives. Thus, through its press releases
the committee will keep the Lebanese Armenian community informed of
its plans, which will take place throughout the year.
