The events in Lebanon are extremely dangerous for the region, Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sarkisyan believes. At the same time, he noted that Armenia’s role in this issue is close to zero.
It is worth mentioning, the Armenian Foreign Ministry made a statement on shelling of Lebanon by Israel on July 14. The statement particularly says: “The Armenian Foreign Ministry expresses its serious concern in connection with large-scale military operations and numerous civilian victims in Lebanon. Armenia condemns any acts of violence, let it be hostage taking or use of force. We, in particular, consider it to be inadmissible the disproportionate use of force that damages civilians and infrastructure. Actions like those committed by Israel are hard to understand, taking into account the fact that the Lebanese government clearly stated that it had nothing to do with hostage taking. We hope that a ceasefire will be established immediately in order to settle current problems through talks.”
In the morning of July 12, Israel started a military operation in Lebanon after the Hezbollah group kidnapped two Israeli servicemen. Israeli Air Forces struck Lebanese transport communications systems and Hezbollah infrastructure near the border.
