The parliamentary majority of Armenia—the MPs of the ruling “Civil Contract” Faction of the National Assembly (NA)—on Tuesday refused to put on the NA agenda the draft statement condemning the ratification of the “Shushi Declaration” by the legislatures of Azerbaijan and Turkey.

The draft statement was prepared and tabled by the opposition “Armenia” Faction.

The respective position of the Armenian authorities was presented by MP Gurgen Arsenyan of the “Civil Contract” Faction. He, in particular, stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia had already given an assessment to the “Shushi Declaration.”

The proposal to put the aforesaid draft statement on the agenda of the current four-day sessions of the NA was approved by only 26 lawmakers. One MP voted against it, and 57 others abstained.


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
