Pakradounian voices importance of Armenians to Beirut

iloubnan.info – May 09, 2010

BEIRUT- In an interview with OTV on Sunday, Tashnaq Party leader MP
Hagop Pakradounian voiced his concern over reports that voters are
removing the names of Armenian candidates from their ballots for
Beirut’s municipal elections. Beirut without the Armenians is not
Beirut, he added.

Tashnaq Party candidates are on the Beirut Unity electoral list backed
by Prime Minister Saad Hariri. Pakradounian also said that his party
could ask its voters to remove certain names from the ballots, but
added that instead it supports equal power sharing between Christians
and Muslims in Beirut.
