    ANTELIAS, LEBANON, AUGUST 30, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Expressing
    the concern of the Armenian community of Lebanon in a letter
    addressed to Mr. Kofi Annan, the General Secretary of the United
    Nations, His Holiness Aram I, the Armenian Catholicos of Cilicia,
    strongly questiond the presence of Turkish forces as part of the UN
    peacekeepers in south of Lebanon. "How can a state play a peacekeeping
    role when the culture of massacre and the ruthless killing of innocent
    women and children are part of its political culture? How can a nation
    that denies its illegitimate occupation of one part of Cyprus come to
    defend the land and the people of Lebanon?", Catholicos Aram I said,
    in particular. His Holiness considers the Turkish participation in a
    peacekeeping mission "morally unacceptable". His Holiness has reminded
    the General Secretary that the Armenian community, which was settled
    in Lebanon after the Armenian Genocide in 1915, will never accept
    "the eligibility of the army of a country that has a profoundly
    negative record on implementing justice and human rights".
