The Armenian lobby in Lebanon cannot damage the relations between
Ankara and Beirut, said the chairman of the Turkish-Lebanese
Interparliamentary Friendship Group.
"The Armenian lobby in Lebanon will not harm the relations
between Ankara and Beirut," Abdurrahman Kurt, Chairman of the
Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group and Turkish Parliamentarian,
told Trend News over telephone from Ankara.
In several countries, including European, Argentina and Lebanon, the
Armenian lobby held a protest action against Turkey. They protested
against the opening of the border between Turkey and Armenia.
According to Kurt, the Turkish-Lebanese relations are built not on
the primitive, but on the strong and substantive principles.
"We extended a hand of friendship to Lebanon because it felt this need,
and no street actions can destroy this friendship," said Kurt.
