Alexandre Varbedian, a French-Armenian Armenologist, ethnologist,
essentialist and ontologist who was not allowed to cross the border
and enter Armenia on April 4, says he has not been given a proper
shelter and a place to sleep at night.
By law, Varbedian was to stay at the transit area of Zvartnots
airport. He spent the night on iron seats in the waiting hall.
Varbedian arrived in Armenia on Thursday to celebrate his 70th
anniversary with his friends. Pursuant to a legislative measure
approved by the Armenian government and put into effect since January
10, 2013, EU nationals have the right to travel to Armenia without
entry visas. However, Varbetian could not exercise the right on
arriving in Armenia and was not allowed to cross the state border.
Varbedian will be kept at the airport till Sunday.
