BEIRUT - At yesterday's banquet honoring visiting Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan, Lebanese Parliament speaker Nabih Berri said that,
"Lebanon and Armenia have many things in common, and Lebanon has
always been a second home to the Armenians."
In response, 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," Sargsyan noted.
Regarding regional issues, 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 Arab Spring, Sargsyan said that the Arab world is
entering a "complicated transitional phase", adding that 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.
