Chairman of the Armenia-based Heritage party Raffi Hovhannisyan has
been invited to an assembly of the International Conference of Asian
Political Parties (ICAPP), which is to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan,
this November.

According to a press release, the reason for the invitation is Mr
Hovhannisyan’s participation in the ICAPP assembly in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia.

He visited the places that once served as concentration camps and
delivered a speech on democracy and challenges to autonomy, as well
as to the Armenian Genocide, prevention of crimes against humanity
and freedom of Nagorno-Karabakh.

In his letter to the organizers, Mr Hovhannisyan explained the reasons
for his refusal to participate in the ICAPP assembly in Azerbaijan’s
capital.

“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
