YEREVAN — Armenia has called on its citizens to temporarily refrain from visiting Lebanon amid an increased risk of military conflict in this Middle Eastern country.
In a statement released over the weekend Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Armenian citizens already in Lebanon to exercise “maximum caution” and follow official reports.
“Expressing hope that peace and stability will be preserved in friendly Lebanon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia calls on Armenian citizens to temporarily refrain from visiting Lebanon unless there is an urgent need,” the statement said. “At the same time, the Ministry urges Armenian citizens currently residing in Lebanon to exercise maximum caution, avoid visiting regions targeted in recent days, and follow the official reports and warnings of the Lebanese authorities.”
The statement, disseminated on Facebook, added that citizens could contact the Armenian embassy in Lebanon if any issues arose due to the current situation.
Many nations, including the United States, Britain, and France, have advised their nationals living in Lebanon to leave the country immediately due to fears of an all-out war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, as well as a broader regional conflict.
