    ARMENIANS OF BEIRUT URGED TURKEY TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    National News Agency Lebanon (NNA)
    April 24, 2013 Wednesday

    NNA - During the march on occasion of Armenian Genocide anniversary
    thousands of Armenians in Lebanese capital Beirut urged Turkey to
    recognize Armenian Genocide. Participants of the event were holding
    anti-Turkish posters and singing Armenian songs. "Turkey has to
    recognize Armenian Genocide and make some compensation steps," Paul
    Halebian said.

    There is an Armenian community of 200,000 people living in Lebanon
    with 5 Armenian ministers in the country.

    The fact of the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman government has
    been documented, recognized, and affirmed in the form of media
    and eyewitness reports, laws, resolutions, and statements by many
    states and international organizations. The complete catalogue of all
    documents categorizing the 1915 wholesale massacre of the Armenian
    population in Ottoman Empire as a premeditated and thoroughly executed
    act of genocide is extensive.

    Uruguay was the first country to officially recognize the Armenian
    Genocide in 1965. The massacres of the Armenian people were
    officially condemned and recognized as genocide in accordance with the
    international law by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands,
    Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia,
    Cyprus, Lebanon, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Canada, Vatican,
    and Australia.
