Armenian Genocide, Lebanon

Lebanon will issue commemorative stamps with the picture of the
Genocide Monument to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide.

On Friday 6 December 2013, Nicolas Sahnawi, Lebanon's Minister of
Telecommunications visited His Holiness Aram I, the Catholicos of
the Great House of Cilicia.

During the visit, His Holiness spoke of the Genocide and explained
the meaning of the monument erected in 1965 commemorating its 50th
anniversary.

Catholicos Aram I then expressed his gratitude to the people of Lebanon
for their solidarity at the time and proposed that the Ministry of
Telecommunications issue commemorative stamps with the picture of
the Genocide Monument.

The Minister welcomed the proposal and promised to implement the
project at the beginning of 2014.
