"Robert Kocharyan must dismiss office for state treachery and a series
of brutal crimes. He must bear full responsibility for his deeds",
"Impeachment" Alliance claims.

"Robert Kocharyan has sold Karabakh to preserve his post" Nikol
Pashinyan, member of "Alternative" Public-Political Initiative
announced today at the "Armat" Club.

"In its annual report on human rights protection the U.S. State
Department qualified Karabakh as a territory occupied by Armenia. This
implies that the USA deems the Karabakh issue as Armenia’s demand
towards Azerbaijan. On the other hand, the USA didn’t take notice of
the fact that no one participated in the November 27 constitutional
referendum", he says.

"The U.S. officialdom once claimed to recognize the territorial
wholeness of NKR and Azerbaijan. Later they announced that the NKR
status must be specified during the negotiations," says Mr. Pashinyan.

Pashinyan thinks that the international community, namely the USA,
seek to transfer the Karabakh conflict to the UNO Security Council.

Alternative Initiative is worried as it is already 10 days the
U.S. State Department has made an announcement whereas it has found
no response among the RA official circles. "We find it strange that
RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan calls it a misunderstanding an
error whereas this is a real matter of concern", adds Mr. Pashinyan.
