ARF Artsakh Organization Headquarters in Stepanakert.

STEPANAKERT (ARF Press Office)-The Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Artsakh organization over the weekend held its 16th Regional
Convention, at the conclusion of which a statement was issued.

The translated text of the announcement follows:

The current developments in Armenian-Turkish relations contradict the
interests of the Republic of Armenia, the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
and Armenians worldwide. The humiliating and dangerous preconditions
inherent in the signed protocols, as well as new statements constantly
being voiced by Turkish ruling circles prove that Turkey’s goal is
to weaken Armenian nation and to force new concessions. It is also
obvious that an attempt is being made to create a schism within the
Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora united front.

On the other hand, the recent discussion over the so-called Madrid
Principles is proof of the increasing pressures upon Armenia on the
Karabakh issue. However, no coercion or bellicose threat can make
the Armenians relinquish their national interests.

We would like to emphasize that the Armenian Cause is not a struggle of
separate entities in the Armenian reality, but rather it is a struggle
for the fate of independent statehood and the existence of the entire
Armenian nation. The dignified victory achieved with the efforts of
all Armenians on the Artsakh front is not subject to bargaining.

The Artsakh ARF organization will continue the just struggle for the
rights of all Armenians.
