YEREVAN, AUGUST 28, NOYAN TAPAN. September 2 is Day of the Declaration
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR). Reminding about this, the
ARF "Simon Vratsian" Center announces that it will hold a rally in
Yerevan’s Charles Aznavour Square on September 2, at 6:30 pm. The
center calls on everybody "to display a willingness and resolution
regarding the issue of defending the independence and security of
the NKR and to prevent the dangerous process of normalizing the
Armenian-Turkish relations".

The report in partucular says: "Winning the war imposed by Azerbaijan
and expressing the will of the whole Armenian nation, Artsakh declared
and defended its independence. Today, under conditions of an activation
of the negotations, we must:

– stand up for the victory won by our people and make others respect
the independence of Artsakh,

– reject any concession imposed on us,

– demand the return to the negotiation format with the participation
of Arstakh as a full-fledged party,

Taking into account the fact that the serious dangers of the current
process of normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations have not been
eliminated, we again demand before the expected football match that:

– the negotiations serving the Turkish interests should be stopped,

– in honoring its international obligations, Turkey should not be
allowed to impose any concessions on Armenia,

– the foreign minister directly responsible for diplomatic failures
should resign".
