Armenian Ambassador to the UN, Karen Nazaryan, at the UN Security
Council speaking on “Children and armed conflict” said that the topic
discussed was not only a painful humanitarian issue for Armenia,
but also was an important security issue.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Armenia, he reminded that in the early 90s as a result of the war
imposed to Armenia, Yerevan provided tens of thousands of Armenian
refugee children with refuges. Brutalities were implemented against
these children, and their hospitals, kindergartens and schools were
regularly attacked by the artillery and rockets.

K. Nazaryan said that the UN Security Council should keep in focus
and to sanction those who commit crimes and offences against children.
