Protest in front of UK embassy in Yerevan: Deputy Ambassador refuses to take caviar (video)
Two jars of caviar and one letter…
Members of the For Law organization held a protest in front of the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Armenia on January 25. They demanded to cancel the debate on the two anti-Armenian resolutions included in the winter session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) that will be put to the vote on January 26.
“Since 2004, Azerbaijan has been pursuing a caviar policy by bestowing gifts of caviar on PACE delegates. We have come here to express our indignation at Britain for the shameful anti-Armenian reports,” said Arman Ghukaysan, a member of the movement.
After waiting for 10 minutes in front of the Embassy, the group had a meeting with the deputy ambassador, who took the letter but returned the jars of caviar.
“I cannot accept it,” he said.
Two anti-Armenian reports – “Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan” by British MP Robert Walter and “Inhabitants of frontier regions of Azerbaijan are deliberately deprived of water” by MP Milica Marković (Bosnia and Herzegovina) - are included on the agenda of the PACE session this January. The resolutions will be put to the vote on Tuesday, January 26.
