(Interfax) - The Miatsum public organization staged a protest action
against territorial concessions in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement in
front of the Armenian Foreign Ministry in Yerevan on Friday.
Miatsum activists demanded "to stop speculating on the issue of the
liberated territories" and "make the maximum effort to settle these
territories."
"Ceding the liberated territories is a very dangerous process, which
will completely ruin the established system of geopolitical security
and defense in the country," Zhirair Sefilian, a Miatsum activist,
said.
"The liberated territories are an integral part of our Motherland, and
any retreat from its borders is treachery," he said.
Protesters passed a letter to Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian, in which they noted that "the concession of the liberated
territories is a crime against the Armenian sovereignty."
According to Zarui Postanjian, an MP from the opposition Legacy
faction, who witnessed the action, it "was ended under the pressure of
police" who were deployed to the scene.
