ARMENIANS OF LEBANON PROTEST AGAINST DISCRIMINATION WHEN BEING TAKEN ON STATE SERVICE
The representatives of the Armenian community of Lebanon appealed to the country vice-president Isam Fares with a note of protest against the restrictions regarding native Armenians when being employed in the state service sphere. They also complained about the cases of discrimination display in providing them the vacancies not requiring very strong qualification. As reported by "Arminfo" agency, according to the agreement with the Lebanon government achieved earlier, restrictions of such character should not be applied to the representatives of the Armenian community.
