“It is very impressive to see such an educational center, both Armenian, international and tolerant towards other cultures, here in the center of Beirut. This is extremely important and exciting. I would like to thank you for your work, and I want you to never get tired, because there is no job more grateful than educating. We have your greatest need and we are grateful for your dedicated work towards preservation of Armenian identity,” PM Karapetyan said.

“We are very grateful to Lebanon for the attitude it displays for the Armenian community. We are thankful for the recognition and condemnation of the [Armenian] Genocide and for the hospitality and assistance for our countrymen during the years of the Genocide”, the PM said, stressing that despite the high level political and friendly relations the economic ties aren’t as advanced. 

“I am sure that we’ve caused certain interest among the Lebanese business environment, banking system, and we will receive feedback soon,” the PM added, mentioning that they’ve presented the opportunities of Armenia to their Lebanese counterparts.

The PM later visited one of the most significant cultural and spiritual Diaspora centers – Bzoummar (Zmmar).
