ARMENIAN MP WARNS OF THREATS BEHIND PARIS TERROR ACT
13:25 * 12.01.15
The terrorist attack against the French satirical newspaper Charlie
Hebdo was a clear message that ISIS recognizes no more borders after
penetrating into Europe, says an Armenian opposition MP.
"There is a radical question as to what they wanted to say by this and
why especially now. They thus want to say 'you will no longer live
in peace; we have our goals as we are present saround the world,'
" Tevan Poghosyan of the Heritage parliamentary faction told a news
conference on Monday.
According to him, the civilized world, including both Christians and
Muslims, proved with subsequent peaceful marches that they are against
any homicide. Poghosyan said he thinks that in a country like France,
Muslims could have sought a legal remedy and a press coverage over
the mocking cartoon. "If they had sought a court proceeding, it would
have again kicked up a great fuss, but they chose this way as they had
a message to deliver. Their goal was not to fight for their rights or
[against] the insult to their feelings, but rather make their message
reach its target," the opposition MP noted.
He further stressed the need of learning two important lessons:
respecting others' religion and protecting one's own rights, choosing
the right wording to characterize an evil.
