Lebanon Lebanon ( ; Arabic: لبنان‎ ‎ "Lubnān" ; ] ; French: "Liban" ), officially known as the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية اللبنانية‎ ‎ "al-Jumhūrīyah al-Lubnānīyah" ; ] ; French: "République libanaise" ), is a sovereign state in Western Asia. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south, while Cyprus is west across the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity. At just 10,452 km (4,036 sq. mi.), it is the smallest recognized country on the entire mainland Asian continent.
Armenians in Lebanon The Armenians in Lebanon (Armenian: Լիբանանահայեր "lipananahayer", Arabic: اللبنانيون الأرمن‎ ‎ ) (French: "Libano-Armenien" ) are Lebanese citizens of Armenian descent. There has been an Armenian presence in Lebanon for centuries. According to Minority Rights Group International, there are 156,000 Armenians in Lebanon, around 4% of the population. Prior to the Lebanese Civil War, the number was higher, but the community lost a portion of its population to emigration. Prior to 1975, Beirut was a thriving center of Armenian culture with varied media production, which was exported to the Armenian diaspora.
