Minister Khoury said in his word that this building witnessed the civil war. "We should remember this war that caused despair, destruction, and death but we should forget it to look forward for hope, joy, initiatives and creativity."
"We are here on a demarcation line which used to divide Beirut and the rest of country in the past..."

The attendees also toured the library and inspected its different sections.
