YEREVAN. - Imagine that a monument to Talaat Pasha is erected in
one of the European cities. Poland's Ambassador to Armenia ZdzisÅ~Baw
RaczyÅ~Dski quoted the remark of one of social network users commenting
on the Yerevan municipality's decision to erect a monument to Soviet
politician Anastas Mikoyan.
Ambassador said the point is not whether he is for or against the
monument, adding that his statement was accepted with criticism and
misunderstanding.
"I saw a good phrase in one of social networks: 'Imagine that
a monument to Talaat Pasha is erected in one of the European
cities. If our [Armenian] ambassador was silent, do you think he
had to be dismissed?' This is the answer," RaczyÅ~Dski told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
During the meeting with Speaker Galust Sahakyan, Ambassador RaczyÅ~Dski
expressed hope that Armenian authorities will be sensitive to the
feelings of the Polish people. Anastas Mikoyan is linked to the
shooting of 22 Polish officers in 1940 in Russia's Smolensk region.
