Defectors’ families under pressure of Armenian special services – Azeri TV

The families of Artur Apresyan and Roman Teryan are being subjected
to pressure from the Armenian special services. The two Armenian
defectors fled from [Armenian President] Robert Kocharyan’s regime
and arrived in Azerbaijan and are currently being held at the remand
centre of the Azerbaijani National Security Ministry.

At a meeting with a human rights activist, Arzu Abdullayeva, they
said that their relative in Russia had phoned the National Security
Ministry [presumably of Azerbaijan] and proposed that Apresyan and
Teryan come to Moscow. Their unnamed relative in Moscow also said
that their security would be ensured in Moscow.

Apresyan and Teryan are confident that their relative had made this
telephone call under pressure from the Armenian special services. They
also said that if the UN High Commissioner for Refugees did not
consider their case, they would go on a hunger strike today.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
