YEREVAN, MARCH 4, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia should continue to be guided
by international norms and move the possibility of solving problems
emerging with neighbor states to the international law plane. Haroutiun
Arakelian, the Chairman of the Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia
(RAPA), stated at the March 4 press conference.
According to him, Kosovo achieved independence thanks to challenging
its problem at international courts. "We should also achieve solution
of the Armenian Cause at the international court," H. Arakelian said
adding that for that purpose RAPA proposes the authorities recognizing
and ratifying the UN International Court’s supremacy. According to
him, in that case Armenia will have a possibility to apply to the
international court with the facts of the genocides committed against
the Armenians both in 1915-23 in Ottoman Turkey and in 1988-1994
in Azerbaijan.
H. Arakelian said that we should also present to the world the real
picture of the events in Khojalu and prove that the very Azeris
organized the slaughter and blamed the Armenians for it. "Otherwise
in the eyes of international community Armenia has moved from the
status of victim to the status of aggressor," RAPA leader said.
