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.
