Editor-in-chief of Beirut-based Azdak paper Shahan Kandaharian said
that over 70 Armenians have been elected to different posts in local
self-government bodies of Lebanon as a result of elections in three
cities of Lebanon.
Such results could be achieved only through unification of the
country’s Armenians, Kandaharian told a PanARMENIAN.Net
According to Kandaharian, almost all successful candidates were
from the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, while representatives of Hnchak
social-democratic party and Ramkavar Azatakan party were elected heads
of Beirut districts – one from each party. Besides, two Armenians
have been elected as mayors. This is an exclusive phenomenon for the
entire Diaspora.
