Cypriot MEP: EU must stop the new genocide against our Armenian brothers in Artsakh
A Cypriot Member of the European Parliament called on the European Union to stop “the criminal actions of the Azeris and Turks,” The Greek City Times reports. MEP Lefteris Christoforou of the European People’s Party made the comment on Twitter.
“The criminal actions of the Azeris and Turks against our Armenian Brothers in [Artsakh] continue unabated. The EU has a Historical Responsibility and I call on the EU to stop now, the new Genocide against the Armenian people in Artsakh,” the MEP said on Twitter.
The source notes that Christoforou is not the only Cypriot MEP that avidly backs Armenia. He is also joined by Loucas Fourlas and others.
Since the invasion attempt of Artsakh began, there have been numerous Azerbaijani atrocities against the Armenians such as the beheading and mutilation of soldiers, the killing of a disabled man and his mother, and the slaughter of a 73 year old man.
The Greek minority in Armenia and Artsakh are also fighting against the Turkish-sponsored invasion attempt.
“The Greeks of Armenia are citizens despite many having a second citizenship – Greek. We were born, raised, educated here, our native language is Armenian, no matter how strange it sounds. Our men serve in the Armed Forces of Armenia, like all citizens of the country,” the President of the Greek Community in Armenia, Maria Lazareva, has told the news portal.
