"Land givers are traitors", "Leave, Nalbandyan"-this is how the
"Miatsum" national initiative kicked off its first protest of 2009
near the RA Foreign Affairs Ministry building.
Today marked the third time that the members of "Miatsum" demand
from Edward Nalbandyan a meeting with them and they assure that they
have strictly important information regarding the Karabakh conflict,
which is first and foremost in the interests of Nalbandyan.
"Miatsum" stood near the building for two hours today screaming
"Artsakh, Armenia, Unite" and singing various national liberation
songs, but their voice remained unheard.
"Everybody, as well as the OSCE co-chairmen who have arrived in Yerevan
today, must realize that the Armenian people make the decision for
all issues, including the Karabakh conflict. No government official
can make a decision on behalf of the Armenian people. The co-chairs,
the representatives of the Council of Europe and other international
organizations must grasp the concept of that," told "A1+" member of
the "Heritage" party Zaruhi Postanjyan.
In addition what Postanjyan said, commander of the Shushi separate
squadron Jirair Sefilya said:
"We are going to keep coming here as long as it takes Nalbandyan to
accept us and we are certain that in the end, he will receive our
delegation because he is obliged to do that."
Sefilyan is sure that the idea of not handing over the lands liberated
at the price of blood is not only the idea of "Miatsum", rather,
the entire nation.
As always, Paranzem Torozyan, mother of one of the first victims of the
Artsakh war Edik Torozyan, was among the participants of the "Miatsum"
protest. "My son died for the unification of Armenia and Artsakh, for
the liberation of our historic lands, but today these traitors are
selling our homeland. They build buildings in central Yerevan. They
should go and build something in Karabakh. They haven't done anything
to date because they have always thought about handing the lands over."
Unlike the previous protests, today there wasn't even anybody staring
from the windows of the Foreign Affairs Ministry building. A couple
of police officers came and tried to stop the "Miatsum" march towards
Northern Avenue. For nearly 20 minutes, "Miatsum" activists stood
there, sang and screamed out their slogans.
The police either understood or received a command to open the road. At
Northern Avenue, the slogans turned into "Struggle, Struggle until
the end."
