Former Artsakh Ombudsman, co-founder of the Path of Law NGO Ruben Melikyan has commented on the recent meeting between the Armenian Ambassador to US Lilit Makunts with representatives of the Board of Governors of the Armenian Bar Association. The photo from the meeting had been earlier posted on Makunts' Twitter acount.

"I just noticed that the notorious Ambassador of Armenia to the US Lilit Makunts posted on Twitter a photo from the so-called meeting with the Board of Governors of the Armenian Bar Association. I am puzzled since I knew the leadership of ArmenBar when organised with them their annual conference in Shushi back in 2018. I didn't notice any familiar face on this photo," Melikyan wrote, questioning whom Ambassador Makunts has met in reality.

"Let me put it straight. I hope the Armenian community of the US will declare Ambassador Makunts unwelcome," concluded Melikyan.

“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
