Kurds in Bourj Hammoud

This is an article about one of my previous posts (Armed clashes between Kurds & Armenians in Lebanon) where I wrote about a Kurd stabbing an Armenian and the consequence of that violent act.

It seems Harirists are trying so hard to get Bourj Hammoud and Tashnag party down but in vain.

Syrian Kurds evicted from Bourj Hammoud, Dora and Nabaa

Kurdish human rights activist Mohammad Saleh Nader told Acharq al Awsat daily that 10,000 Syrian Kurds living in Bourj Hammoud, a predominantly Armenian area, are to be evicted from their rental apartments. Nader explained that this decision was taken by the Tashnag Party and was the result of the demonstrations staged by the Syrian Kurds before the Syrian Embassy in Lebanon.  

Deputy Head of the Kurdish charity organization Mahmoud Sayala told Al-Mustaqbal daily that Tashnag representatives briefed the Syrian Kurds living in Bourj Hammoud, Dora and Nabaa four days ago of the decision to evict their apartments. Siala added that they gave them until Monday to implement the decision and warned every person that will fail to abide by it that he will have to pay a fine of 3 million LBP.

Al-Mustaqbal newspaper quoted Future bloc MP Khaled El Daher as saying that the decision has no legal grounds, disrupts the State’s authority, violates human rights and is considered an illegitimate forced eviction.

Tashnag MP Hagop Pakradounian told Acharq Al Awsat daily “Residents have been complaining about the distasteful and immoral actions of those tenants and submitted a petition to the party’s leaderships asking them to evict these tenants from the region because of the threat they impose on its security.”

Armenians in Syria

As you all are hearing from the news, the situations in Syria is getting worst day after day.

I met an Armenian priest from Syria the other day and as usual the discussion was about the situation there. According to him, nothing is happening in his region and everything i calm and people are living their normal lives but he expressed his concern in case president Bashar al-Assad falls. He explained that the president's fall will have a major effect on Christians in Syria. He resembled the consequence as it happened in Iraq.

Joke of the day

Aliyev and Erdogan prayed for a big earthquake in Armenia. The next day a big earthquake hit Van.
Erdogan and Aliyev got surprised and ask God why did the earthquake occur in Turkey and not Armenia...

God answered: "I'm sorry, I used an old map."

Armed clashes between Kurds & Armenians in Lebanon

Last Sunday (October 23), Armenians and Kurds clashed in the streets of Bourj Hammoud after a Kurd stabbed an Armenian guy. The reason was said to be a driving problem. After a while, the Lebanese army arrived and stopped the clashes.

According to our sources, 3 Armenians were injured and several Kurds were arrested.

The issue behind such clashes is that unlike the old days, houses in Bourj Hammoud are being rented for Kurds working in Lebanon for cheap prices. The number of Kurds in the region has been increased in the past few years. In the past few days, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and Bourj Hammoud municipality have been working to empty the region from Kurds and forbid house owners to rent their houses to non-Armenians.

The Armenian Revolution

The idea of Armenian Revolution (the blog) started while I was reading an old Armenian newspaper and noticed that there are many articles in it which are not accessible to Armenians through the internet.

Through this blog, we will try to bring back those articles and make them available on the Internet. Moreover, we will blog about contemporary issues that the Armenians (and the Armenian diaspora to be specific) are facing.
