Deputy Minister of Defense Manvel Grigoryan, the leader of the Union
of Yerkrapah Volunteers, addressing the celebration of the Day of
Yerkrapah on May 8, announced that Armenia will never give up five of
the liberated regions. `
The announcements of certain politicians on returning these areas in
our and foreign mass media cannot be true, because these areas are
populated, and it is common knowledge that territory belongs to those
who live there,’ stated Manvel Grigoryan. Manvel Grigoryan thinks the
Armenian people must be unified, for the strength of any nation is its
unity. `Every election, every political event is nothing compared with
the unity of the Armenian nation. This unity enabled our victory,’
stated Manvel Grigoryan. He rejects the stage by stage resolution of
the conflict over Karabakh, which supposes returning the territories
controlled by the Armenian armed forces. `Nothing of the like. I do
not understand and accept this. I exclude the return of the areas. I
am ready to prevent the return of the regions whenever such attempts
are made,’ announced Manvel Grigoryan.
