CSTO Foreign Ministers` Council holding meeting in Yerevan: Resistance Movement members not allowed to approach the presidential residence

ArmInfo. Resistance Movement members were not allowed to approach the presidential residence at 26 Baghramyan Ave., where the CSTO Foreign Ministers' Council is holding a meeting. 

The protesters marched from Yerevan's France Square to the  presidential residence, but police blocked their way. 

Aram Vardevanyan, a member of the opposition parliamentary faction  Armenia, stated that they will inform all international delegations  visiting Armenia that "Armenia's incumbent and outgoing authorities  have no mandate in this country." 

"Discussions in the CSTO format are taking place now. It is one of  the few organizations capable of extending a helping hand in case of  threats to any of its members. And Armenia is one of them. And now  let us see the real situation: over a year ago [Azerbaijani] troops  made an incursion into Armenia's Syunik province. Have Armenia's  incumbent authorities turned to the CSTO? No. Why? Because they are  incompetent and unwilling to defend Armenia's interests. So they must  go away," he said. 

On January 6, when Armenia was CSTO chairing-country, mechanisms were  employed in Kazakhstan. 

"So Armenia's incumbent authorities could employ mechanisms for  Kazakhstan, but did not do so for Armenia. It is absurd," he said. 

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
