Command Board Members of ‘Brotherhood of Freedom Fighters’ Say
Command Board Members of "Brotherhood of Freedom Fighters" stated
yesterday that they possess information about an agreement to return
the liberated lands. "To our knowledge, everything is agreed; the
lands will be handed over. Vartan Oskanian on his part has stated for
the third time that we are ready for concessions," Arkady Karapetian,
coordinator of the Command Board, head of Karabakh’s Yerkrapah Union,
said. The commanders pointed out that they do not agree to any kind
of concession. "In my opinion, mutual concession is that I don’t want
to attack Baku.
I am serious. That is my concession because this is my country. Many
can call me an extremist, can say that want war. No one who has
ever seen a war will want war. War is an awful thing; I have lost
my children, I know that," Arkady Karapetian said. "The people of
Karabakh does not believe that the lands can be handed over but if such
a thing happens no one can predict what will be in Karabakh." Moreover,
Karapetian underscored that no soldier would go to war if he knew
that the lands for which he had fought would be returned.
The Command Board Members of "Brotherhood of Freedom Fighters"
made a statement where it urged everyone to join the movement of
"Civil Disobedience." "The memory of most of our perished brothers
is blotted out; the history of freedom fight has been falsified.
Everything has been done to break up our brotherhood.
We kept silent because we were afraid of losing our 15 years old
spiritual victory the nation has gained.
Today, the only remaining precious thing – our liberated territories –
is under danger. Let us all unite to save Armenia, to restore justice
in all spheres and not allow that the blood of our brothers be vainly
shed," the statement reads.
