Armenia opposition MP sounds alarm about Baku fabricating criminal cases against Armenian prisoners

Baku is fabricating criminal cases against Armenian prisoners of war and has launched a trial. This is what secretary of the opposition Prosperous Armenia faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Arman Abovyan said during today’s special session of the National Assembly.

Abovyan added that, in reality, Azerbaijan is currently legitimizing its policy, declaring citizens of Armenia as “terrorists”.

“The Azerbaijanis are somehow trying to justify their failure to return Armenian prisoners of war. There has to be a response to this. If Armenia doesn’t respond, it will mean that the Armenian government agrees with this. The National Assembly, government and the opposition must properly respond to all the actions that Azerbaijan takes. This is the most important issue, and we must not forget that Armenian prisoners are still being kept in Azerbaijan,” Abovyan said.

“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
