KESSAB EVENTS: ACTIVISTS HAND LETTER OVER TO UN OFFICE IN ARMENIA
17:00 * 26.03.14
Civil movement representatives have gathered in front of the UN office
in Armenia to protest the UN's silence on the events in Syria's Kessab
on March 21.
In defiance of all the international commitments, Turkey shelled the
settlement of Kessab. Supported by the Turkish government, terrorists
were looting and destroying. The local population was expatriated. It
is no secret the Armenian-populated Kessab has always been a target
for Turkey, activist Arman Mkhitaryan said as he read out the letter
addressed to the UN office.
"Under the circumstances, the UN's silence is at least strange,
and we have decided to remind the UN of its aims. We condemn the
UN's silence."
As a UN member, Turkey is grossly violating the UN Charter, and the
activists demand that the UN denounce and make a legal assessment of
Turkey's terrorist acts.
UN Resident Coordinator Bradley Busetto met with the activists and
took the letter.
