Chairman of the Communist Party of Armenia Ruben Tovmasyan denied
disinformation spread by Azerbaijani media outlets that ‘Armenian
communists agree Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is Azerbaijani territory’.

When asked by correspondent of Panorama on-line paper whether Armenian
Communist Party’s members singly met with Azerbaijani delegation during
the Communist Congress in Moscow and moreover discussed settlement of
Karabakh conflict, chairman of the Communist Party of Armenia Ruben
Tovmasyan said no.

Ruben Tovmasyan confirmed the participation of Armenian delegation in
the 34th Communist Parties Congress held in Moscow on October 24. "It
is not true, regarding to the ‘meeting with Azerbaijani delegation’.

We sat in the same room, corridor, said "hello" – that’s all. Neither
meeting or discussion or view’s sharing happened," assumed Ruben
Tovmasyan.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Azerbaijani media, chairman of
the Communist Party of Azerbaijan Rauf Gurbanov said: "We have no
disagreement with Armenian communists that Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
belongs to Azerbaijan. They openly acknowledge it and this is not
the first time they declared it since they do it always."

This statement made by neighboring communist highly angered Armenia’s
communist number one. Ruben Tovmasyan said that this would be "apogee
of Azerbaijani lie" if Gurbanov had really voiced it.

"I wouldn’t like to hear such Armenian-communist-party-related
statements. If Gurbanov can show off to their local communists – it’s
his private business. But I haven’t discussed any item with Gurbanov
so let him never practice mistaking wishes for reality," he said.

"We always held on to sovereignty of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and
up to now set out that Karabakh has gained independence, has its own
Parliament and perfectly copes with statecraft," added Ruben Tovmasyan.

“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
