ARMENIAN LAWMAKERS CALL FOR SENDING INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS TO KESSAB
13:55 * 24.03.14
As the situation in Syria's north-west continues to remain tense,
several members of Armenia's National Assembly have issued an urgent
call for sending international observers to Kessab.
The statement, signed by Samvel Farmanyan, Edmon Marukyan, Arman
Sahakyan, Tevan Poghosyan and Levon Martirosyan, is presented below:
"The Armenians around the world are shocked by the latest developments
in the Syrian town of Kesab and the neighboring settlements. They
have caused the evacuation of the local Armenians again; almost a
century after the Armenian Genocide, they are forced to migrate.
"Evaluating all this as an extraordinary violation of human rights -
not just as a domestic affair of Turkey and Syria - we, as members
of the Armenian National Assembly, strongly condemn the Turkish armed
forces' operations, a new challenge against the against the Armenian
Diaspora in the Middle East.
"We call upon the Syrian and Turkish authorities to conduct an unbiased
probe into the incidents and demand that the international community
make its unequivocal assessment on the heinous violation of human
rights by sending UN observers to the Armenian-populated districts
of Kessab to document the massive violations of human rights.
"We call upon the Government of the Republic of Armenia to take
necessary measures and ask the Armenians around the world to unite
efforts to assist in the protection of the rights of the Syrian
Armenians.
