Lebanese Armenians free to receive Armenian citizens

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian authorities always support our community in emergency situations, editor-in-chief of Azdak Beirut-based newspaper Shahan Kandakharyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



The assistance rendered by the Middle East division of the Armenian Foreign Ministry is a bright evidence of this, according to him.



"Armenia's Ambassador to Lebanon, Vahan Ter-Ghevondian, who completed his mission in the country, was the first diplomat to be received by President-elect Michel Suleiman and decorated with the supreme order of Lebanon," he said.



"On May 31, the Armenian newspapers in Lebanon will publish the announcement of Armenia's Embassy saying that all Armenians in Lebanon can address the Embassy for Armenian citizenship. Receiving the citizenship, Armenians in Lebanon and other states will be granted not only moral but also legal assistance," Mr Kandakharyan said.
