    PRESS RELEASE
    COALITION IN SUPPORT OF KASHATAGH
    New Website and On-Line Petition
    E-Mail: [email protected]
    Website: www.kashatagh.com
    New York, USA

    October 3, 2006

    Dear Fellow Armenians,

    As you read these lines the Armenians in Kashatagh (Lachin)need our
    immediate help.

    After the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, local officials in Armenian and
    Artsakh called for Armenian to move to Kashatagh and made promisies of
    financial and material assistance to all those who heeded the call to
    resettle in Kashatagh. Today, those promises have not been kept.

    As a result, livings conditions in Kashatagh are bad and getting worse.
    Thus, Armenians who moved there are now leaving. If this situation
    persists, there will be no Armenian presence in this strategically
    vital region that lies between Armenia and the Republic of
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Armenians in the diaspora, as well as in Armenia and Artsakh, cannot
    remain silent when faced with this sad reality. We need to forcefully
    voice our concerns and demand an adequate degree of accountabilty from
    those responsible.

    To publicize the situation a new website devoted to KASHATAGH has been
    created: www.kashatagh.com

    On the website an ON-LINE PETITION has been posted. This petition is
    addressed to the Presidents of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. It calls
    on these officials to immediately take all possible steps to rectify
    the socio-economic situation in KASHATAGH and stop the exodus of
    Armenians from the region.

    All concerned Armenians are urged to sign this important PETITION and
    circulate it as well.

    Collectively, the Armenian people can make a difference for the
    Armenians of KASHATAGH
