THE ACTIVITY OF THE MOVEMENT FROZEN

The meeting organized yesterday by the Armenian National Congress and
the protest march followed by the meeting was the last during this
year. And it is not yet clear whether or not, according to the
`strategy' introduced by the leader yesterday from Matenadaran
`platform', the revolutionaries will be able to start their struggle
from the starting point.
By the way we must underscore that during the liberation movement they
have never had such a short meeting, like the one that took place
yesterday. It lasted less than one hour and the number of the
participants was rather few, despite the efforts of the activists. The
fact that the movement has regressed and that the struggle of the
revolutionaries has met a deadlock is a reality. And no matter how much
the leader will try to pretend that it is not like that, anyway the
`indigestible decision' taken by Ter-Petrosyan, which he introduced
yesterday during his meeting, was conditioned by the
non-prospectiveness of the movement's struggle.
By analyzing the `unprecedented geopolitical situations' Ter-Petrosyan
underscored at the beginning of his speech that `during the 17 years of
the independence our country has never been under such foreign
pressures as it has appeared at the moment.'
After wh
ich he announced that Serge Sargsyan has reviewed the doctrine
of Armenia's foreign policy. That we allegedly ignore Russia and have
turned our faces towards the West, because we face the problem of the
recognition of `legitimacy'. And to please the latter we are ready even
to cede Karabakh, what he says `to sell Nagorno Karabakh'.
After which he `grounded' his statement, to be more precise the
delirium, by the publication of his famous program regarding the
settlement of the problem, saying that it consists of 10 points, which
are:
The withdrawal of Armenian forces from the Azerbaijani regions
neighboring Nagorno Karabakh, the re-habitation of those regions by
Azerbaijani refugees, the return of Azerbaijani refugees to the main
territory of Nagorno Karabakh, to ensure land communication between
Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia via Lachin corridor, setting up
peace-keeping forces around Karabakh border, de-militarization of the
territories having been returned to Azerbaijan, raising the blockade of
Armenia's foreign communication roads, the re-opening of Armenian -
Turkish border, the establishment of the intermediate status of the
Republic of Nagorno Karabakh and finally holding a referendum regarding
the final status of Karabakh in an indefinite future.
Who told him that the West demanded that Serge Sargsyan approves
similar program of the settlement of the conflict. He didn't say
anyt
hing about it. He only said: `Does Serge Sargsyan comprehend the
danger of monopolizing the issue of the settlement of Karabakh conflict
and pleasing the West, which will lead to a national disaster.
Ter-Petrosyan generously suggested the remedy of averting the disaster,
announcing that `taking into consideration the fact that after the
recognition of the independence of Kosovo, Abkhazia, and South Osatia
Karabakh issue is stepping out of the general process of the settlement
of the frozen conflicts, probably it is high time for the National
Assembly to appear with the initiative of the recognition of NKR
independence.
Serge Sargsyan shouldn't be obliged to respond to that initiative, but
on the one hand, by having the decision of the Parliament, on the other
hand by not ratifying the decision he will have big chances to confront
the foreign pressures during the coming negotiations.' What `wisdom'.
During the previous 10 years Armenian Pan National movement used to
accuse R. Kocharyan of postponing the settlement of the issue, thus
maintaining the status quo. But in essence at the moment they are
proposing the same.
Anyhow the `near settlement of Karabakh conflict with all the dangers'
makes the leader of the movement take a decision about a temporary end
of their activity.
This of course doesn't mean complete freezing of the movement's
activity. 'The=2
0break will not take a long time because the settlement
of Karabakh conflict is a matter of two-three months. And if due to the
international financial crises it is delayed we will always have
possibility to correct our strategy and start the massive events at the
right time,' the leader convinced the disappointed participants of the
meeting.
The latter would hardly comprehend his next explanation. LTP `is
concerned about Serge Sargsyan, because the activeness of the movement
mitigates the position of the President thus strengthening foreign
pressures and the opportunities to extort concessions from him.' So by
this `brave and responsible step the pan national movement proves its
seriousness.'
Wonderful! Finally the leader found a reason to refuse his
revolutionary struggle. Because it is evident that the slogan `struggle
struggle to the end' won't take anywhere.
