The three long-established Armenian political parties (Social Democrat Henchag Party, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, and Ramkavar Liberal Party) harshly condemned the agreement on declaring Beirut and Istanbul sister cities. 

And the three parties released a joint statement, on Wednesday, which specifically reads:

“The three Armenian parties severely condemn Beirut City Council’s this initiative, according to which Istanbul—capital of the Ottoman Empire, which carried out disasters in the region, and especially in Lebanon, and which caused them devastations, continuously for 400 years—shall become the sister [city] of Beirut, which has a Martyrs’ Square.         

What happened to the respect toward man, as an absolute value, to the respect toward his memory?”
