Lebanon’s Speaker Nabih Berri cancelled parliamentary session to be held in honor of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan which will be replaced by a luncheon.

The participants will be invited to Berri’s residence to honor the Armenian leader, The Daily Star reported.

The parliamentary session stirred controversy over opposition’s decision to boycott the work of parliament.

President Serzh Sargsyan will pay a two-day official visit to Lebanon next week to meet with the country’s leadership.
