From positive neutrality to partisanship: how and why the Armenian political parties took sides in lebanese politics in the post-taif period (1989-present) / Geukjian, Ohannes   Journal Article

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the policy of the Armenian political parties in Lebanon in light of the Taif agreement in 1989 that ended the Lebanese civil war and granted the Armenian community more political rights. The Armenian parties (Dashnak, Hunchak and Ramgavar) in the post-Taif period were obliged to abandon the policy of positive neutrality that they adopted from 1975 to 1989, and took sides with various Lebanese parties to protect the communal interests that the consociational structure of the state had allowed them. However, the Armenian parties were not united over the goal of maintaining the Armenian bloc inside parliament. As they chose different policies to pursue communal interests they took sides with the ruling majority and the anti-government opposition. The Armenians were criticized by some Christian politicians for their partisanship and were expected to maintain their traditional neutrality in Lebanese politics. It is very likely that the Armenians will return to their neutral policy and support the President and the government once their group rights are protected.

Ignored relationship: the role of the Lebanese Armenian diaspora in conflict resolution (1975-90) / Geukjian, Ohannes   Journal Article
Geukjian, Ohannes Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This research examines the role of the Lebanese Armenian diaspora (LAD) during the unstructured conflict that was the second Lebanese civil war, which extended from 1975 until 1990. This research has two aims. The normative aim is to find patterns of diasporic activity in conflict such as to support positive activities and discourage negative activities. A second is to focus on an empirical case study of the LAD in order to demonstrate that the diaspora encouraged peace-making initiatives and discouraged peace-wrecking. Importantly, the LAD as a political actor in Lebanese society played a positive role in promoting dialogue, cooperation, conflict resolution and reconciliation and had a significant impact on politics in general and conflict behaviour in particular. This study concludes that it is worth studying diaspora behaviour in conflict because a diaspora could be a powerful actor in conflict resolution and peace-making.

Political instability and conflict after the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon / Geukjian, Ohannes   Article
Geukjian, Ohannes Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines and analyzes the dilemma of power-sharing as Lebanese leaders turned to the task of consolidating state institutions and rules of governance after the Syrian withdrawal in 2005. It argues that Lebanese political groups’ difficulties in sharing power were largely attributable to the lack of external support for the regulation of conflict. This article emphasizes the relationship of internal parties and external powers to the maintenance of peace and power-sharing institutions.
