ArmInfo.The Anti-Nazi Front of Armenia held a protest in front of the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan.
Hayk Aivazyan, Chairman of the Anti-Nazi Front of Armenia, stated that over 30 years the civilized world has had to witness the despotism by the USA and its allies manifested by their forcing their own values on and the "so-called American democracy" the entire world. And the nations that opposed this pressure fell victim to aggression. Among them are Yugoslavia, Iraq an Libya, with hundreds of thousands of people, including children, falling victim to NATO aggression. In this context, Mr Aivazyan noted that the so- called American democracy is a present-day follow-up to Nazism. He said that the color revolution in Ukraine brought to power those advocating Nazism and reminded the participants of the Armenian people's contribution to thee fight against Nazism during the Great Patriotic War.
"And even now I am sure Russia's cause is just in Ukraine. Just imagine the disaster should those in power in Ukraine could have nuclear weapons," he said. According to him, Russia's military operation aimed at "demilitarizing" and "denazifying" Ukraine is an urgent necessity.
The virologist and international expert in biological security Grigor Grigoryan said that the protesters disagree with the West's policy.
"It is common knowledge that biological security is a component of national security. After the USSR disintegration, the post-Soviet countries had a rich heritage in this field, and the USA started developing it from 1998. Laboratories were opened in such countries as Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine. The Russian military operation in Ukraine revealed actual activities of the laboratories," he said. The danger of biological weapons is that identifying them and proving their use is a difficult task.
According to Mr Grigoryan, Armenia (where 12 laboratories are operating – ed.) is facing a similar threat now. He stressed the inadmissibility of activities that are in conflict with the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in the post-Soviet states, including Armenia an called for control over the US-operated laboratories.
