I am shocked by the deadly explosion that took place in brotherly Lebanon. Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan wrote this on his Facebook page and added:
«A short while ago I had a telephone conversation with Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia. I expressed my solidarity to His Holiness Aram, to the Armenian community, to the brotherly state and people of Lebanon:
We mourn the deaths of all the victims and offer our condolences to the relatives and loved ones of all the victims.
We stand by the side of brotherly Lebanon»:
