A photo of my grandad
Found this photo awhile back of my grandad (guy in middle bottom) taken back in the 30s or 40s in the Armenian Qarantina camp. I think it’s worth sharing.

Pretty slick.
VINTAGE.
Yes, the Armenians were refugees, forced to leave their home and wealth, due to Turkish Genocide of the Armenians. They came to Lebanon with nothing, and built up Bourj-Hammoud and Anjar.
…then kicked out other refugees who came here for same purpose. the kurds.
Bravo you’re 100% right! Retard!
note:
Armenians, “built up Bourj Hammoud”
The Kurds aren’t doing such a great job at “BUILDING up” the shittiest place in Lebanon buddy, they did quite the opposite actually.
Armenians may just be the only “refugees” who came to this country and actually contributed to the society. Or else, we too would still be living in those “camps” the palestinians are enclosed in.
Get off your chair ya Director
