Gatering outside the hotel that hosts Turkish-Lebanese Economic Conference, about 200 Armenians hurled egges at Turkish businessmen to protest their pariticipation to the conference.
Lebanese-Armenian protesters holding Armenian flags and banners reading "trade is expensive, justice is priceless" hurled eggs at Turkish businessmen. The eggs crashed at the windows of cars and buses bringing Turkish businessmen.
Lebanese police immediately dispersed the protesters.
There are about 150,000 Armenians in Lebanon which makes 4% of the population. Protest demonstrators shouted slogans calling Turkey to recognize 1915 incidents as "Armenian genocide."
