Expert calls on Armenian civil activists to focus on national security

Armenian military expert David Jamalyan called on Armenian human rights activists to focus on national security.

Dwelling on the statement made by an Armenian civil activist at a NATO seminar suggesting that “Armenia and Azerbaijan breach the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE),” the expert told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that such statements prompt distrust towards human rights advocates in Armenia.

“If the statement belonged to a European official, it would provoke fair indignation, but it becomes inexplicable when made by an Armenian official,” Jamalyan noted.
