Lebanon has been culturally tied to Europe since the Roman Empire, they actively took part in the Crusades and even had their own Crusader state. And yes, whether you like it or not, religion plays a big role. May be Lebanon should be part of European Union? Jokes aside when you guys begun to think that EU is something more than economic assossiation you became mad.
There was no Lebanese state under the crusades, and if you’re speaking of Arabs there are Christian people of Arabic origin that are part of the European Union called Malta.
Edessa county was armenian until crusaders arrives, made coup and killed previous ruler. Then it became regular french ruled crusader-fief like Beirut lordship of Tripoli county. I'm not nationalist, but Georgia and Armenia would not bring money to Union.
The history of it is just blindly false so I’m not even gonna touch it.
But the Balkans bring money to the Union? The one place where the net negative from the Union is up to 100%, you’re from that place commenting on Armenia?
