    ZHIRAYR SEFILIAN: WE HAVE PROBLEM OF TURNING NEGOTIATIONS PROCESS TO A NEW WAY BY 180 DEGREES

    The Miatsum people's initiative organized a picket in front of the RA
    Foreign Ministry building on April 22. As initiative member, Commander
    of Shoushi special battalion Zhirayr Sefilian said in his interview to
    journalists, pickets are aimed at preventing the "traitorous process"
    in the Nagorno Karabakh issue and will continue until RA Foreign
    Minister Edward Nalbandian agrees to meet with the initiative members.

    Z. Sefilian said that very dangerous developments are observed in the
    issue of Nagorno Karabakh settlement. "In essence, nothing has been
    changed in the Minsk Group proposals: just because of our feebleness
    all processes, Armenian-Turkish relations or Nagorno Karabakh problem,
    are connected with each other today, and it is the most dangerous
    thing," the former freedom-fighter said. According to Z. Sefilian,
    we have a problem of turning the negotiations process to a new way
    by 180 degrees.

    Initiative member, film director Tigran Khzmalian emphasized that the
    authorities put their trust in foreigners in national issues of vital
    importance, in particular, the Nagorno Karabakh issue. "These are
    indeed senseless efforts of the level of ping-pong or football having
    nothing in common with serious and national deep policy," he said.

    According to him, the initiative members have gathered to say to
    Foreign Ministry officials, foreign diplomats, especially to OSCE
    Minsk Group Co-chairs being in Yerevan at present that there are
    people in Armenia, who will do their best to prevent undesirable
    and anti-popular developments. According to T. Khzmalian, a meeting
    between the Miatsum initiative's delegation and Foreign Minister
    does not take place for months running, and it once more confirms
    that the authorities and foreign policy are estranged from society.

    According to T. Khzmalian, an issue of national importance should not
    be a subject of foreign diplomats' bargaining. "We are concerned with
    anti-national approaches, bargainings, dilettante diplomacy, because
    the people does not imagine the danger well, especially in connection
    with the liberated territories. Now it is especially dangerous that
    in foreign political sphere big powers launch new developments in
    the South Caucasus, and any new development can bring a result very
    unfavorable for us," he said.
