YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11, ARMENPRESS. Discussions were held in Armenia’s Security Council attended by the relevant authorities regarding the current situation in Syria’s Armenian-populated settlements caused by the October 9 military invasion by Turkey.

The Security Council said it closely follows the ongoing developments in Syria’s north-east and at the same time develops options to respond to possible developments aimed at ensuring the security of the Armenian population.

On October 9 Turkish forces launched an offensive in Syria’s north-east.

The Armenian foreign ministry released a statement noting that Armenia condemns the military invasion by Turkey in north-east Syria, which would lead to deterioration of regional security, losses among civilians, mass displacement and eventually to a new humanitarian crisis.

The United Arab Emirates also condemned the Turkish aggression in Syria.

Iran also condemned this action, urging Turkey to withdraw the troops from Syria.

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
