YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, ARMENPRESS. The Vice President of the National Assembly Ruben Rubinyan held a meeting with the Members of the European Parliament Sylvie Guillaume and François Alfonsi.

Welcoming the guests, Ruben Rubinyan introduced the situation in the region at the request of the MEPs. Rubinyan spoke about the humanitarian challenges that the 120,000 Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh face as a result of Azerbaijan’s illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the parliament’s press service said in a read-out.

At the meeting, a reference was made to the invasion of the sovereign territory of Armenia by the Azerbaijani armed forces and the problems regarding Armenian prisoners of war.

Ideas were exchanged on the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations.

Ruben Rubinyan highlighted the efforts made by the international community to establish security and stability in the region.

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
