YEREVAN. – Armenian MP Stepan Margaryan called to address all Armenia's friends and to bring their attention to human rights violations in the case of Alexander Lapshin.

According to the MP from Prosperous Armenia Vahe Hovhannisyan, it is necessary to refrain from irrational decisions, such as withdrawal from the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union.

“Thus, we can easily get involved in not our problem. But much needs to be done through the channels of the CSTO, Russia and other intergovernmental channels,” he added.

According to the MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia Karen Bekaryan, the goal of Azerbaijan is not to jail Lapshin, but an attempt to embroil Yerevan in an argument with the largest possible number of states.

“But let no one doubt that we can adequately respond to such irrational actions,” he said.
