ARFD: Armenia cannot watch Kesab events from sidelines

In accordance with all international norms, Armenia has the right to make the necessary efforts to defend the rights of Syrian Armenians, Armenian parliamentary deputy, member of ARF-Dashnaktsutyun faction Armen Rustamian told Aysor.am when speaking about the events in Armenian-populated town of Kesab in Syria.

‘We should take important steps in two directions: first, to start joint actions with the Syrian authorities to strengthen the security of Armenians in Syria, and secondly, to take measures on raising the level of self-defense, especially in places densely populated by Armenians,” he said.

In his words, Armenia cannot watch from the sidelines, but it should launch active diplomatic actions so that the protection of the Syrian Armenians’ rights will be on the international agenda.
