Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said, on the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, that this occasion calls for recalling the profound pain and the meanings of resilience and adherence to identity.
He noted that Lebanon served as a “safe haven” for Armenians, who found in it a second homeland and contributed to its construction and prosperity, becoming an integral part of its national fabric and pluralism.
He stressed that commemorating the anniversary is an occasion to underscore the importance of preserving collective memory, promoting the values of justice and human dignity, and working toward a future marked by peace and mutual respect.
The president saluted the Armenian people, renewing Lebanon’s commitment to its mission as a land of freedom and diversity, and affirming that safeguarding memory is a fundamental pillar in preventing the recurrence of tragedies.
