Tashnaq Party leader MP Hagop Pakradounian said on Wednesday that
Internal Security Forces (ISF) Director General Achraf Rifi on Tuesday
ordered the removal of all banners condemning Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Beirut visit.
Pakradounian told New TV that the police removed these banners from
streets in Zalka and Jdeideh.
"It seems we still live in a phase of dictatorship. There was genocides
[against the Armenians] and we do not have the right to raise our
voices about it," the MP also said, adding that the issue is "purely
Lebanese."
More than 100 members of Lebanon's Armenian community gathered outside
Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport on Wednesday to protest
Erdogan's two-day official visit to Lebanon.
