Armenian-Turkish Protocols A Slap on the Face to All Armenians, Says
Postanjian
During our thousand-year history, the Armenian nation, living in its
cradle, had several republics and then lost them, said Heritage Party
parliamentary faction member Zaruhi Postanjian on the `Parliamentary
Week’ television program broadcast on public TV.
Postanjian regretted the fact that the current Armenian state, the
Republic of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, for which thousands of
honest and patriotic Armenians gave their life 20 years ago and whose
total area is 42 thousand square kilometers `became a subject for
bargaining by unlawfully formed authorities.’
`The governing authority’s representative, which has no connection
with the people and who was not elected by the people, Serzh Sargsyan,
has given himself the right to express a political view on the borders
established in Nagorno-Karabakh’s Constitution, thus putting the
unquestionable fact that Nagorno-Karabkah is part of the Armenian
state and the fact of our victories to doubt,` the Heritage Party
member said and added that the clauses of the Madrid Principles are
unacceptable for members of the Heritage Party, as well as `any
Armenian.’
`Mr. Sargsyan, not being satisfied with giving his approval on the
Madrid Principles, turned a new page of disgrace in Armenia’s current
history: by pre-signing the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, he has given a
slap on the face to all Armenians and tried to deprive us of our dream
and right to be a citizen of an honourable state. This means that in
case Serzh Sargsyan signs the protocols later on, he will be doing so
as a private individual, in violation of the duties assigned to the
president by Constitution,’ said Postanjian in a release circulated by
the Heritage Party.
