YEREVAN, OCTOBER 13, NOYAN TAPAN. According to Nor Zhamanakner
(New Times) party’s estimation, the Foreign Ministers of Armenia
and Turkey signed evidently anti-Armenian protocols on October 10
in Zurich. Mentioning that the signing ceremony took place three
hours late the NZ Board is convinced that the protocols are a result
of serious pressures. NZ Board’s statement read that the protocols
have the three preconditions put forward by Turkey as far back as in
1993 regarding its country’s and Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity,
dampening the process of Genocide’s international recognition, and
Nagorno Karabakh problem’s solution in favor of Azerbaijan.

Reaffirming that the fact of thrusting anti-national protocols on
the Armenian people at any price is the consequence of exercising
anti-popular legislative and executive power for years in Armenia
serving exclusively for clan interests the Nor Zhamanakner party
declared:

"At the current stage the Armenian people should do its utmost in
Armenia and Diaspora to hinder ratification of this disgraceful
document and by doing so should prevent a regular attempt of world
powers to sacrifice Armenia and the whole Armenian people. Processes
going on over the Republic of Armenia with their logic being very much
like the destructive events that happened in Serbia make it unequivocal
that the clan-oligarch regime having seized the power in our country
should be removed as soon as possible, which can be done as a result
of joint struggle of various strata of society, political forces free
of compulsion. Since 2009 October 10 the Armenians worldwide should
realize that they will be able to resist the coming challenges only
with their own forces. We remind to all world forces that the Armenian
nation over the five thousand years of its history survived in more
difficult situations, experiencing the Genocide it continued building
its homeland and now struggles for a Deserved and Fair Future."
