Armenia's "Public Council" youth intellectuals' NGO is calling on the heads of UN Security Council-member states to show the political will and convene another special UN Security Council session as soon as possible.

The Armenian youth call on preventing crimes in Libya and Bahre by accepting as a basis the second additional protocol of the Geneva Convention and by using all possible levers. They also call on the member states to "make a call for vigilance to the authorities of Oman and Yemen; otherwise the ban on the flight zone at the Libya airport will not lead to anything because there are also tanks and artillery".

The authors of the declaration see a similarity between the 1915 Armenian Genocide and the events taking place in the Arab World and sense the international community's indifference and lack of activity.

"We have the same feeling today as African mercenaries are massacring thousands of your Arab brothers in front of our eyes. As you are reading these lines, people are still dying for their desire to live in a free country. The UN Security Council's 1973 Resolution and the five member states' neutrality are more than illogical when the son of the dictator hurts your dignity, calls the United States and Europe terrorist countries, calls Mr. Sarkozy a clown, countries part of the Arab League anti-democratic, threatens Iran and other countries and finally, calls millions of compatriots traitors for expressing views against the dictatorship," as stated in the statement.
