YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The realization of the
English-American plan on creating a new Near East started during
the last Arab-Israeli conflict. Armen Avetisian, Chairman of the
Armenian Aryan Union Party, said this at the September 2 press
conference. He and another participants of the conference, including
heads of the Ukht Ararati and For the Sake of Homeland organizations
Tigran Pashabezian and Nerses Nersisian, as well as Chairman of the
Tsekhakron organization Gevorg Hovsepian, expressed bewilderment in
connection with the fact that the Armenian authorities in no way
reacted to the plan and map already known in the world, which was
published in all regional countries with the exception of Armenia. In
their words, one of the main directions of the plan is education,
including on the lands of the Western Armenia, the new state of
Kurdistan. Nagorno Karabakh is not mentioned at all on the map of
the new Near East. Instead, currently Turkish but formerly Armenian
cities of Ardahan, Kars, Igdir, as well as mount Ararat are returned
to Armenia. In A.Avetisian's words, an attempt to form another state
is again made on historical Armenian lands. As the new state will
be created at the expense of the territories of another states as
well, including Syria and Iran, as he estimated, Armenia should
create a united front of struggle together with these friendly
countries. In the opinion of the press conference participants,
Armenia is vulnerable and is not ready for such challenges. They
called on the Armenian authorities to attend to this issue and to
take all necessary measures for strengthening the national security
system. In the respect of Armenia's active involvement into regional
processes Armen Avetisian spoke for leaving of an Armenian military
contingent for the Lebanese-Israeli border. "Yes, we were against
sending our servicemen to Kosovo and Iraq, but with regard to leaving
for Lebanon, we consider this necessary," Avetisian declared.
