ArmInfo.The UN Economic Commission for Europe rejected the complaint of Azerbaijan from 2011 against Armenia. Head of the Office for International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Vahram Kazhoyan, wrote  about this on Facebook.  "After eight years of "battles" as a result  of the negotiations, we recorded a victory today on a very important  issue for Armenia within the framework of the Convention on  Environmental Impact Assessment in a transboundary context.

In 2011, Azerbaijan submitted a complaint against Armenia, which,  however, on all the provisions was refuted by the Ministry of Foreign  Affairs and the Ministry of Nature Protection of the Republic of  Armenia at several hearings over 8 years. Today, the Economic  Commission for Europe formally made a decision based on the facts we  have presented. The commission found that Armenia fully fulfills its  obligations under the Convention, and the complaint of Azerbaijan is  unfounded, "the diplomat explained. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
