YEREVAN. - Armenian Ramkavar Liberal Party (ARLP), headed by Edward Antinyan and Armenakan-RAK party, headed by Hakob Avetikian, express their concern on the situation in Syria.

“Syria is a friend to Armenia. It hosted many Armenians escaped from the [1915] Genocide. Armenian people have always been thankful to the state.

Currently when an important state in the Arab world is subjected to foreign and domestic pressures and local Armenians’ fate is in danger, the whole Armenians are concerned.

ARLP and Armenakan-RAK parties are making a joint statement on this decisive moment and call to stop foreign pressure on Syria. It will enable the state and the authorities to solve domestic issues through peaceful negotiations,” the joint statement reads.
