National Initiative Miatsum Appeals to Nagorno-Karabakh’s Leaders
National Initative `Miatsum’ sent a written appeal to
Nagorno-Karabakh’s political and military leaders. In the letter, it
states:
`The Turkish `Protocols’ and `Madrid Principles,’ as diplomatic calls
to war thrown to Armenia and the Armenian people, have entered their
final stage which is the documents’ ratification and practical
implementation.
`It’s not necessary to prove to a single Armenian today that the
Turkish `Protocols’ puts the fact of the Genocide into doubt, with all
of the consequences that result from it, as well as compeling the
Republic of Armenia to confirm recognition of the 1921 Kars Treaty,
that is, Turkey with its present borders.
`A more tragic consequence might be if the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh
is resolved within the framework of the `Madrid Principles’, which,
for us, doesn’t exist [the Madrid Principles, that is]. For the
Armenian people, there is one major problem: that is the resettlement
of Karabakh and the liberated territories.
`It is already fact that on September 19, Serzh Sargsyan announced
that if Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized within the regional
administrative borders that it had during the Soviet period, then the
Republic of Armenia is prepared to hand over a `safety zone’; that is,
to surrender all seven regions of the liberated territories to
Azerbaijan.
`Armenians in the Republic of Armenia, as well as Armenians living
abroad, are against the `Madrid Principles’ and the Turkish
`Protocols,’ despite how much the Republic of Armenia’s leadership
attempt to loudly broadcast the opposite.
`We are convinced that Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh and their
political and military leaders realistically assess the full
seriousness of the processes taking place today and will express
appropriate will, preventing that policy, the downfall of the Armenian
people, which the Republic of Armenia’s governing authorities are
attem
ation.
`Unfortunately, from Armenia’s independence till today, we were unable
to use the opportunity provided to us, as well as the large period of
time, to establish national and state institutions. If those
institutions were established, today no such documents would
emerge. The only document which is capable of aborting this
treachorous process and to prevent it without shakes, is the
impregnable fortress in Stepanakert.
`Today, once more you have a historic mission: to be the vanguard in
protecting Armenians’ vital interests.’
