A group of Kashatagh residents has echoed the public demand issued
by eleven NKR parliamentary deputies and political figures calling
for the release of jailed French-Armenian Sarkis Hatspanian.

"Sarkis Hatspanian is known by many in Kashatagh. He has utilized
all the resources at his command to resettle the liberated lands of
Kashatagh. We believe that a person who helped liberate the land and
assisted in its resettlement is worthy of humanitarian treatment;
e.g. release from prison," reads the statement issued by the group.

Those signing the new statement include:

Artsakh Bunyatyan – NKR Meritorious Doctor; Military Cross #2

Father Atanas Movsisyan – Kashatagh District Pastor

Karen Grigoryan – NKR Member of Parliament

Tigran Kyureghyan – Former Member of NKR Parliament

Khachik Baghdasaryan – Writer, Poet, Photographer

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
