AGAINST SURRENDER OF LIBERATED TERRITORIES

28-05-2007 16:13:09 – KarabakhOpen

Political trading and an attempt to surrender the liberated
territories by no means can settle the Karabakh conflict, and
represents a deadly threat to not only the future of Artsakh, but to
an Armenian statehood as a whole. Trapped in the morass of
`constructive negotiations’, the political figures of Armenia put at
risk the very existence of Armenian people. The actual events which
take place today are a new `Munich agreement’, which drives us into a
strategic deadlock and contributes to an unleashing of a new
aggression against Republic of Mountainous Karabakh and Republic of
Armenia.

Today, on May 28, when Armenians celebrate the date of establishment
of the first Armenian Republic, we would also like to remind about the
disgraceful end of that republic in 1920. At that time, Kars, Igdir,
Mount Ararat and ancient capital of Ani were all surrendered without a
single shot. Tens of thousands of young lives perished. It became
possible exactly because of faintness, `constructive concessions’ and
`diplomatic maneuvers’ of the country’s government at that time.

Today we demand the Government and political parties of Armenia to
stop any rhetoric concerning the readiness to surrender the liberated
regions of Artsakh. We also demand to make public the agenda of
negotiations; whereby concealing the information, which directly
concerns the future of Armenian people, is unacceptable.

Any politician or public officer, regardless of previous honors before
the country, who demonstrates today the readiness to surrender the
Armenian land, – is a traitor of the Motherland and a blatant enemy of
his own nation.
