    TACHNAQ COMMENTED ON MP MICHEL MURR'S STATEMENT

    The Central Committee of the Tachnaq held a meeting following Mr. Murr
    statements. Following the meeting, the committee responded to the
    issues raised by MP Michel Murr, during his press conference. Here
    is an excerpt from the Tashnaq statement:

    "The number of Armenian voters in the district of Metn in 2007,
    during the elections, was 10,300 of which 20% voted for President
    Gemayel and 80% for Dr. Camille Khoury. The Armenian electorate in
    this constituency was not 28% as quoted MP Murr but 32%."

    We are surprised to the suddenly change of Mr. Murr towards the
    member of the Tachnaq party despite the strong relationship that we
    both have and that dated to 60 years ago.

    MP Murr received 5000 votes of the Armenian electorate, knowing
    that the votes of the Tashnaq party count 2200, yet he insists
    on falsification of identity cards and claim that fraud occurred
    in polling of Bourj Hamoud, and we expect shortly the decision of
    prosecutors to prove once again that these threats do not concern us.

    Despite all the comments, we believe that the elections have
    strengthened democracy. Moreover, we condemn the attempts by some to
    consider the Armenians as second-class citizens.

    We reaffirm the right of the Armenian to practice their duties
    according to their beliefs like all Lebanese citizens, "concluded
    the communiqué.
