Armenia’s security officials have banned Masis Abrahamian, an Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) activist and head of the Armenian National Committee of the Netherlands, from entering the country, the ARF Western Europe Central Committee said in a statement on Monday.

The decision came shortly after his daughter, ARF Youth Union member Suneh Abrahamian, was denied entry to Armenia to attend a camp in Syunik organized by the ARF Youth Office on Sunday.

"The authors of such cowardly decisions are pathetic, especially if they think that in this way they can silence the figures who have devoted themselves to the defense of the territorial integrity of Armenia and Artsakh. Our struggle will only intensify to culminate in the restoration of a national state based on rule of law, the precondition for which is the ouster of the anti-national and dictatorial regime," the statement says.
