Lebanese authorities’ ban to broadcast Zartnir Lao reel on the Armenian
Genocide, which is said "to damage Lebanese-Turkish relations",
should not be eyed as a radical shift in Lebanon’s foreign policy,
according to Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan.
"Ankara spares no effort to stop the process of international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide and it’s main target is the
Armenian Diaspora. This ban was the first blow," Melkonyan told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Armenia and Diaspora should be united to
counterbalance such attacks."
