The Leader of Homeland party Artur Vanetsyan concluded his visit to Artsakh, summing up the results in an interview with the Fifth Channel. Vanetsyan has reflected on the aim of his visit, the results of the meetings with representatives of political forces and the Primate of the Diocese of Artsakh of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“The settlement of the Artsakh issue was at the axis of all meetings during which we presented our approach, and I should confirm that it coincides with most of the positions of the Artsakh political forces. Artsakh can never be part of Azerbaijan, the right of its people to self-determination is indisputable, and the international recognition of Artsakh has no alternative,” Vanetsyan told the TV channel.

Speaking of the resettlement plan of the country, the head of Homeland party stressed that it remains an issue of pan-Armenian significance with contribution expected from all Armenians throughout the world.

“The Azerbaijani side has created a fake notion, the so-called “Azerbaijani community of Karabakh” mostly  due to the failed or lack of negotiations process run by our acting leadership. In light of this, the resettlement plan appears to be more urgent than ever,” Vanetsyan said, announcing plans to set up a working group and include the program as an agenda issue.

“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
