German-Armenians condemn post-election tensions in Armenia
20:56 - 06.04.13
Armenian organizations in Germany have expressed concerns over the
political tensions observed in Armenia following the February
presidential election.
In a statement, they are calling upon the Armenian authorities to
refrain from excessive measures while resolving conflicts and avoid
developments that led to the March 1, 2008 post-election turmoil,
which claimed ten lives, living scores of people injured.
`The political situation in Armenia is extremely tense following the
February 18 presidential election. Despite certain forecasts, the
atmosphere is gradually growing more heated and is expected to reach
its culmination on April 9, the presidential inauguration day.
`It is PREDICTABLE that the civilian population will come into clashes
with the law enforcement bodies, with the developments likely to
follow the March 1 scenario.
`We express solidarity to the people's fair struggle and STATE with
strong concerns that the use of any violent force or incitement will
have an unprecedented negative impact on the Armenian authorities and
the relations with the Diaspora.
`To the benefit of the Armenian nation and the country's peaceful and
sustainable development, we call upon the incumbent authorities in
Armenia to adopt only a legal, pro-national and humanistic approach,
which will lay solid foundations for the on-going development of the
Armenia-Diaspora relations and further increase the Republic of
Armenia's reputation on the international arena,' reads the statement.
The document has been signed by the Armenian Congress of Europe
(German branch), Central Council of German-Armenians, German-Armenian
Cultural Association, the Armenian Community of Berlin, the Armenian
Cultural Union of Stuttgart, Third Millennium without Wars Union (NGO)
and the Armenian Renaissance organization's German branch.
