“The conduct of the Seventh Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations in a country, where xenophobia, Armenophobia, intolerance are flourishing, raises a number of questions,” Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told a joint press conference with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
“The Alliance of Civilizations is called to support high civilizational universal values. Holding the forum in a country, where those values are violated, disrespected and ignored is unacceptable,” he said.
He said, Armenia has not only refused to attend the forum, but has also vetoed the Declaration of the Seventh Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations.
