“For years we have been urging the Armenian authorities to support the spontaneous drive for the repatriation of Armenians in the Middle East.

Lebanon’s tens of thousands of people, who have been living in a state of constant disaster for months, have been on the brink of a perfect collapse of popular institutions since yesterday. The Lebanese-Armenians are currently threatened by an epidemic, famine and anarchy.

We call on the President of the Republic of Armenia, the Prime Minister and the Catholicos to start the process of mass repatriation of Lebanese-Armenians an hour earlier. From this moment on, indifference, slowness, inaction are tantamount to a crime.
