NATIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION UNION CONSIDERS POSITION OF ARMENIAN AND
ARTSAKH AUTHORITIES IN ISSUE OF SETTLEMENT OF LIBERATED TERRITORIES
SERIOUS DIPLOMATIC FAILURE
YEREVAN, APRIL 5, NOYAN TAPAN. During the April 2 session the
presidium of the National Self-Determination Union is to give
estimation to the “defeatist position” of the authorities of Armenia
and Artsakh in the issue of settlement of liberated territories.
Paruyr Hayrikian, Chairman of the National Self-Determination Union,
informed the journalists about this before the session. According to
him, submitting to anti-Armenian moods and dictates of propaganda,
the persons who by chance became the owners of important levers of
power in Armenia confirmed the “version of our predatory presence” on
international scale. According to Hayrikian, “instead of announcing
that we are immediately obliged to liquidate or reduce to minimum the
consequences of the Armenian Genocide, the obvious manifestation of
which became the extermination of Armenians in Nakhichevan, our
authorities, conceding to the appeals of anti-Armenian forces
heroically prove that Armenians aren’t engaged in the settlement of
territories, that they don’t care for pan-Armenian problems.” While,
according to him, the authorities should have called on the OSCE
fact-finding mission to check the situation also in the regions
formerly populated with Armenians, especially in Nakhichevan. Paruyr
Hayrikian also said that the National Self-Determination Union as an
organizer-initiator of settlement of territories estimates the
position of Armenian and Artsakh authorities in this issue as a
serious diplomatic failure.
