Armenia MFA: Lack of international community’s proper reaction to Lapshin’s extradition to Azerbaijan has inspired Baku

13:45, 05.06.2017

The lack of international community’s proper reaction to blogger Alexander Lapshin’s arrest and subsequent extradition to Azerbaijan has inspired Baku. 

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Armenia, Tigran Balayan, wrote about the aforementioned on his Twitter account.

He noted this reflecting on the statement by Maja Kocijančič, Spokesperson for the European Union External Action Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, regarding “the reported abduction and illegal detention of Azerbaijani nationals residing in Georgia.”

“The lack of proper reaction by international community on Lapshin’s arrest & extradition to Azerbaijan inspired Baku,” Balayan tweeted and posted Kocijančič’s statement.

“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
