Armenia
Statement Made By The "National Democratic Party"
In internal political struggle one shouldn’t cross the border after
which our national interests are jeopardized, two Armenian states the
Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh deteriorate
in the international arena. The collection of signatures about handing
Robert Kocharyan over to Hague Court crosses this border.
Why? Isn’t it the initiative of the citizens that Hague Court is
starting the process of the accusation for committing crime against
the humanity? The judicial process is possible only if one appeals to
a state or an international organization charging the other side for
genocide, ethnic cleansing or military crime. The verdict against
the Sudanese President charged for committing genocide and ethnic
cleansing is the latest proof of the before mentioned.
Azerbaijani leadership has many times announced that they are preparing
a "package of cases" to appeal to Hague Court against Armenian
officials for organizing ethnic cleansing, genocide and military
crimes against Azerbaijanis. The collection of signatures organized
by Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s supporters will definitely contribute to the
initiative of Azerbaijanis, referring to the collection of signatures
as a crime not only against the Azerbaijanis but also Armenians.
As a=2 0result the international court will examine not the Genocide
committed by the Turks in the beginning of the previous century or
ethnic cleansing organized by the Azerbaijanis in the beginning
of this century, but Armenia, in the person of Robert Kocharyan,
gradually involving many other participants of the liberation struggle
as accused.
Thus the collection of the signatures is firstly addressed to our
nation rather than Robert Kocharyan, including those giving their
signatures who don’t understand the danger. The problem is far not
in protecting or not protecting the ex-President.
It is not late to stop this initiative. They can’t come out with a
public announcement regarding that. Otherwise we can think that by
this initiative the organizers intend to contribute to Azerbaijan’s
initiative to appeal to Hague Court against the Republic of Armenia
and Nagorno Karabakh by false accusations.
