Demonstrators in Yerevan meet OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs with protest
YEREVAN. Feb 5
Members of the youth branch of the Armenian revolutionary federation
Dashnaktsutyun met the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with a protest picket in front of the
Armenian Foreign Ministry building in the center of Yerevan as they
were coming in to converse with Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian on
Wednesday, an Interfax correspondent reported.
The protesters criticized the OSCE Minsk Group's neutral position on
incidents at the Armenian-Azeri border and the contact line between
the Armenian and Azeri forces.
The demonstrators were holding banners saying in the Russian, English
and French languages 'No to Double Standards' and 'Stop Unjust Policy
Supporting Azerbaijan's Aggression'.
"We demand that no equal sign should be put between Armenia's and
Azerbaijan's policy. This policy promotes not peace but the
continuation of Azerbaijan's militant rhetoric," Gerasim Vardanian of
the youth branch of Dashnaktsutyun told journalists.
David Babaian, a spokesman for the president of the self-proclaimed
Nagorno-Karabakh republic, told journalists that the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs would not visit Stepanakert this time around.
"The mediators' agenda presumes the organization of new meetings
between Yerevan and Baku," he said.
