PROTEST IN YEREVAN AS MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRS VISIT FOREIGN MINISTRY - VIDEO/PHOTOS
13:46 * 05.02.14
Youth activists of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun
(ARF-D) demonstrated outside the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday to
express their anger at the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs' statements
in Baku.
While they were conducting the protest with the slogans "No to Double
Standards", "We are Against the Minsk Group Policies", the diplomats
arrived and, without responding to the journalists covering the event,
entered the Ministry building.
"We have gathered here to remind the Minsk Group co-chairs of their
true mission," Gerasim Vardanyan, the leader of the ARF-D's Nikol
Aghbalyan student union, said, adding that he the Minsk Group has
failed to fulfill its mission to promote peace over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The activist said he thinks that the Group's even-handed attitude to
the armed tensions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border means encouraging
Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian aggression.
"We are against this, and we demand that the Minsk Group co-chairs
demonstrate a corresponding attitude and posture and call things by
their names," he said,
Vardanyan refrained from commenting on the Armenian authorities'
position on the issue. "We have, on different occasions, expressed
our attitude to, and position on, the Armenian authorities' foreign
policies," he noted.
As part of their scheduled regional tour, the co-chairs headed to
Azerbaijan's capital on Monday. On Wednesday morning, they arrived
in Yerevan.
The OSCE Minsk group, composed of French, US and Russian co-chairs,
has been spearheading the peaceful efforts over Karabakh since 1992.
