    SAMI GEMAYEL: TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

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

    NNA - Kataeb party's Cultural Affairs bureau held a seminar on
    Wednesday on the 98th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, at the
    Kataeb central house in Saifi.

    In his word delivered on the occasion, MP Sami Gemayel urged the
    Lebanese state to consider the Armenian cause in its foreign policy.

    According to Gemayel, Lebanon could still enclose good ties with Turkey
    even when the Lebanese government recognized the Armenian Genocide.

    "France's recognition of the killing of Armenians as genocide did
    not cause a French-Turkish ties' break up," he corroborated.

    The MP said that what happened against Armenians have happened against
    the Lebanese community's components. However, he explained that what
    distinguished Armenians from others was their clinging to the memory.

    He said Lebanon could not be built by erasing the memory of one
    another.

    "We have to recognize, respect and preserve the memory of each
    community in Lebanon," he concluded.
