International community equalizes ‘aggressor’ and ‘victim’ – public figure

PanARMENIAN.Net - A board member of the Assembly of Armenian Refugees from Azerbaijan slammed the international community’s stance on recent Azeri attacks at the line of contact.

“The international community tries to equalize the aggressor and the victim,” Susanna Melikyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

According to her, Azerbaijan through its attacks tries to use foreign forces to pressure Armenia into making concessions. She noted that even the visits of such high-level officials as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton prove unable to suppress Azerbaijan.

Another Assembly board member Edward Poladov urged to draw a parallel between Azeri attacks at present and 20 years ago during the fall of Shahumyan.

“Twenty years ago, U.S. Secretary of State visited Baku and a few days later Azerbaijan through Russian army’s support managed to seize Shahumyan and the large part of Martakert province,” he said.

Mr. Poladov noted that international community headed by the U.S. continues to turn a blind eye to Azeri actions.
