Sharmazanov condemns destruction of shared Christian spiritual values
Vice Speaker of the Armenian parliament Edward Sharmazanov condemned the explosion of the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church in Der Dzor, Syria, at the meeting with Vice President of the Czech Senate Miluse Horska.
In his words, the act was a demonstration of cultural genocide and destruction of not only Armenian spiritual values, but also shared Christian values.
Sharmazanov called the explosion of the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church a continuation of the destruction of Armenian monuments in Nakhichevan and thousands of monuments in Turkey. The denunciation of those actions by the international community at the time would have prevented the explosion of the Holy Martyrs Church in Der Dzor, he said.
