Speech by Lilit Galstyan, ARFD members, member of the Armenian
delegation to the Euranest parliamentary assembly Summit in Baku

Dear Colleagues,

We are going to adopt a report, which emphasizes the importance of
democratic values and democratic systems.

Armenia joint Euronest family with the confidence that Eastern
Partnership is a community where all members share equal
responsibilities, principles, values, and which is most important
respect fundamental principles of international law and fundamental
freedoms.

We entered the Euronest family with the hope that jointly we can
create a political climate where fruitful and constructive dialogue
would be held based on understanding and respect.

Unfortunately, the morning session started with statements that not
only didn´t provide the objective evaluation of the situation, but
damages the negotiation process on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as well
as the efforts of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly to create a political
framework for cooperation and democratization of member countries.

As a member of Dashnak party, founding member of Socialist, I cannot
accept being treated as fascist by anybody whatever his rank is in
his country, especially in a country where our socialist friends are
arrested for their political views.

However, I hope that the report prepared by the co-rapporteurs will
enhance the future democratization of the partner countries and bring
all partners to the new stage of cooperation.

“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
