The new public organization created in Artsakh is called Assembly of
Armenians of West Armenia `Hayrenik'. `Its founderswere brought around
the idea of creating Armenian statehood in West Armenia, which is the
cherished dream of every Armenian, especially those Armenians who had
to live outside the fatherland of their ancestors, in foreign
countries,' says the vicechairman of the new organization, writer,
Komitas Danielian. `This may seem an unrealizable, even vain illusion
to many. However, we believe that sooner or later justice will
prevail. Who could imagine 15-20 years ago that Artsakh would ever
gain freedom and independence? This happened, however. Several days
ago the parliament of Poland unanimously voted for the recognition of
the Armenian Genocide. You know that 15 countries have already
recognized it, soon Germany will, probably, join them. So the whole
world, including Turkey, will sooner or later recognize the fact of
the Great Calamity. The latter must realize that unless Kars, Karin,
Van and Masis and the Greek Izmir are returned to their real masters,
the international community will look askance at Turkey. There can be
no other way, and the Armenians are to be masters of their
fatherland. This will require hard work here and abroad, and our
organization, which will have branches in Europe and America where
there are large Armenian communities, will make its contribution to
this important cause of the entire nation.
