    ARMENIAN YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AGAINST SENDING A MILITARY GROUP TO IRAQ

    A1 Plus
    15-10-2004

    Youth organizations and young wings of various parties held a round
    table discussion to decide - to send an Armenian military group to
    Iraq or not?

    Mainly ARF young members are the initiators of the discussion. They
    are against sending a group to Iraq and think a public pressure must
    be exerted upon the present Authorities, making them reject the idea
    of sending even a humanitarian group to Iraq.

    "Armenian Authorities must not neglect the interests of security of the
    Armenian Commune in Iraq and the Armenians worldwide", Eliza Manukyan,
    Press Secretary of Araratian Diocese announced.

    "For Science Development" initiative group member Arsen Kharatyan
    announced a wide social movement must be started.

    We asked if the young people have discussed the positive and negative
    results of sending a military group to Iraq at the financial and
    economic aspect. Arsen Kharatyan said our national interests and
    national security are more important than grants and credits of
    various world banks and organizations.

    Young people have already addressed a letter to the Armenian President,
    Parliament Speaker and Prime Minister. Today the youth have discussed
    and decided to conduct signature collecting and prove to our officials
    de facto the society opposes the idea of sending a military group
    to Iraq, especially that the war in Iraq has no connection with the
    fight against terror.

    The representatives of youth wings of "Republican Party of Armenia"
    and "Land of Law Party" didn't partake in the discussion.
