    Lebanon

    During a banquet honoring Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan , who is
    in Lebanon on 2 day official visit , Lebanese Parliament speaker Nabih
    Berri warned that the entire region is "threatened by fragmentation
    and division." "The entire region is threatened by fragmentation
    and division and is witnessing ethnic and factional explosions,"
    Berri said on Tuesday.

    Commenting on the relations between Lebanon and Armenia Berri said

    "Lebanon and Armenia have many things in common, and Lebanon has
    always been a second home to the Armenians."

    Berri urged all Lebanese politicians to commit to the Taef Agreement
    and to sit together to settle differences while distancing the country
    from the Syrian crisis. He emphasized that "the Lebanese civil war
    experience proved that no party can eliminate the other."

    On his part the Armenian president said that "Lebanese-Armenian
    relations are ones of friendship because the two countries are related
    to one another."

    "We will always remember the support that the Lebanese people provided
    to the Armenians". He stressed

    Commenting on the Arab Spring , Sargsyan said: "The Arab world is
    entering a "complicated transitional phase" , adding "Armenia is
    worried about the Syrian people's fate."

    He reiterated his country's call for a "cessation of the blood
    shedding" in Syria.

    The lunch banquet was attended by several March 14 MPs, PM Najib
    Mikati, FPM leader Michel Aoun and Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali
    Abdel Karim Ali.
