/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Armenia is extremely concerned about the military
actions in Lebanon and their escalation, as well as the great
loss of civilian life," says the statement by the Armenian Foreign
Ministry. "Armenia condemns any violence whether it be abduction or use
of force. We particularly denounce the use of such disproportionate
force intended solely to collectively punish civilians and damage
infrastructure. This kind of reaction by Israel is particularly
difficult to understand given the fact that the Lebanese government
has clearly distanced itself from the abduction incident. We hope that
there will be restraint in the region and also hope there will be an
immediate ceasefire so that the issues can be addressed by peaceful
means," the statement says.
