Protest at EU Delegation`s attitude to take place in Yerevan

ArmInfo. A protest will take place in front of the Marriott Armenia hotel at 5:30pm. The  protesters will raise the problem of the EU Delegation's improper  attitude to the protection of European values in Armenia.  

According to a public announcement, the Euronest Parliamentary  Assembly will meet in Yerevan on Feb.  21-22. 

"On February 21, the delegates to the Assembly, Head of the EU  Delegation to Armenia, Mrs. Andrea Wiktorin and European states'  ambassadors are scheduled to meet with representatives of Armenia's  civil society. With the EU Delegation's subjective approach to the  elections of representatives of Armenia's civil society considered,  we are not sure that the issues arousing public concern over the  deteriorating state of democracy and human rights protection will be  raised at the meeting," reads a statement by Edgar Ghazaryan, the  ex-head of the RA Constitutional Court staff. 

The Youth Union of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation  Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) will join the protest.   

In a statement issued last night the ARF-D Youth Union calls for  joining the protest. 

"We are going to express our indignation at the European delegations  over the absence of response to the permanent manifestations of  anti-Armenian sentiments of Turkey and Azerbaijan, insufficient  pressure over return of Armenian POWs and vicious policy of equating  Armenia to the aggressor state Azerbaijan." 

"Since an Azerbaijani delegation will arrive in Armenia, we attach  special importance to make our voice herd by them. So we are calling  on our compatriots to take part in the action."
