YEREVAN, APRIL 20, ARMENPRESS. The PACE should take concrete measures in order over 200 Armenian POWs kept in Azerbaijan return to Armenia, ARMENPRESS reports member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, MP Mikayel Melkumyan said at the PACE session.

‘’Partners, what are we discussing? Armenia has returned all POWs to Azerbaijan, but there are still Armenian POWs in Baku. I have addressed you several times that it’s necessary to organize visits to Yerevan and Baku. But you told me that it’s beyond your responsibilities. What would you do if those POWs were French or German nationals? I want to see concrete measures, the parents of our POWs want to see concrete measures’’, Melkuyan said, emphasizing that the war incited by Azerbaijan and Turkey was the continuation of the genocide.

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
