The Lisbon 5
The Lisbon 5 - Simon, Sarkis, Setrag, Vatche, and Ara
In undying memory of the 5 self-sacrificing Armenian youth
Beirut, Lebanon
The "Lisbon Five"; five heroic Armenian youths set out from Lebanon to Lisbon, with the mission of capturing the turkish ambassador as a hostage. However, when they found themselves surrounded by Lisbon police, in the empty embassy building, from which the ambassador had already escaped, they stood in a circle with a bomb in the middle, holding each other’s hand and praying, and...BOOM... gave their life away in the name of Armenia, in the name of justice, in the name of the 1.5 million victims.
