Armenian MP: Terrorist activities in Middle East can turn into genocide
It is no secret that many foreign fighters who fight in Syria and Iraq have come from friendly states. Yet it is essential to take measures to investigate these sources of income of terrorist organizations and to take appropriate measures, Armenian MP Koryun Nahapetyan said in his remarks at NATO’s Rose-Roth seminar.
According to him, terrorist organizations cannot operate so smoothly without stable sources of income. Nahapetyan stressed that continuous brutalities are the message to all of us that one day they can turn into genocide.
“It is important not only to physically resist, but to ideologically condemn activities that tomorrow can turn into genocide. As a nation who survived it 100 years ago and is still suffering from the implications from the horrible events of the Armenian Genocide, we have always clarified our position about that,” said Nahapetyan.
Nahapetyan highlighted that the events in the Syrian capital, militant and extremist attacks from neighboring countries on the Armenians in Kessab and the other regions in Syria and later Iraq made dozens of them feel refugee again after generations.
“In this regard, I would like to mention that this year with the centennial of the Armenian Genocide we will commemorate the victims of genocide and call every nation to join us to prevent the future generations from this experience,” concluded Nahapetyan.
