YEREVAN, AUGUST 11, NOYAN TAPAN. People’s Movement (PM) of Armenia
expresses its deep concern and condolence at the tragic events and
deaths in the zone of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict, stating
that such conflicts should be resolved only through peace negotiations.
It is said in a statement issued by PM’s Center that war operations
have gone beyond the limits of the conflict zone and endangered some
important roads and communications entering Armenia which are of
vital importance to the country’s security. Besides, according to
PM statement, more than 10 thousand Armenian citizens currently in
Georgian holiday places, as well as the Armenians of Georgia are in
an insecure state.
"Under such conditions when every hour may be fatal, Armenia’s
de facto president Serzh Sargsyan and his retinue are continuing
quietly their Olympic rest and entertainment in China. This attitude
of Serzh Sargsian – quite a strange attitude for a head of a country
– is, unfortunately, natural and typical of him. We condemn Serzh
Sargsian’s criminal indifference to the national security and fate of
the country’s citizens. We demand that the Armenian authorities take
adequate measures based on the situation: provide the appropriate help
to our citizens and hold the necessary negotiations with Russian and
Georgian authorities with the aim of not endangering the operation
of the communications that ensure uniterrupted supply of Armenia,"
the PM Center’s statement reads.
