Azeri incursion into Armenia expands circle of violence – MEP

16:44,

YEREVAN, MAY 20, ARMENPRESS. The opening of the military trophy park in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku and instilling children with hate there will never lead to peace, MEP Viola von Cramon-Taubadel from the Alliance '90/The Greens group said at the European Parliament’s plenary debates on prisoners of war of the Nagorno Karabakh war.

“War is disgusting and unfair. Thousands of killed soldiers from Armenia and Azerbaijan, many more displaced civilians. This is the price that president Aliyev calls an ‘unprecedented victory’,” she said.

The MEP said that humiliating the opposite side at victory parks and violating their borders only expands the circle of violence. She was referring to the latest Azeri incursion into Armenia in the Syunik and Gegharkunik provinces.

“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
