    Women for the Preservation of Liberated Territories Roundtable Issues
    a Statement
    13:28 ¢ 24.10.09

    Today the Women For the Preservation of Liberated Territories
    Association organized a roundtable, after which participants issued
    the following statement:

    `States having strategic interests in the region ' the US, Russia,
    Turkey and the European Union ' seem to have come to a common
    agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia
    and Turkey and on the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh at the expense of
    the national and state interests of the Armenian people.

    `The Republic of Armenia current governing leadership and the person
    holding the presidential post implement the will of the superpowers
    unquestionably, subordinating and selling our state and national
    interests to foreigners, from whom they receive corresponding
    guarantees in maintaining the governing leadership which was seized
    from the people in Armenia.

    `Only a leadership which enjoys the Armenian people's trust has the
    right to resolve the Armenian-Turkish issue. For that reason we find
    that the solution to the current main problem is Serzh Sargsyan's
    resignation. Without the solution of that problem it is impossible to
    bring Armenia out of those dangerous international processes where
    Armenian people's strategic interests are at risk.

    `The Armenian people are ready to resist anything bound on them,
    [including] encroachments from foreigners, ready to fight and defeat
    the enemy that is greater in number than itself, if the force leading
    the people in that fight and the sons of the nation standing among
    them have shown with their life and deeds that they are devoted people
    and resolute in rectifying the situation and in preventing this course
    of betrayal.

    `Today, the danger threatening the Armenian people's alarm calls are
    resounded by those individuals who assess the situtation as equivalent
    to the Battle of Sardarapat.

    `We, the roundtable participants, welcome the idea of creating a
    Sardarapat movement.'

    Editor's note: the Battle of Sardarapat took place in 1918 near
    Sardarapt, Armenia (not too far from the capital, Yerevan) and is
    viewed as the battle which prevented not only Turkish advancement into
    the rest of Armenia, but also the complete destruction of the Armenian
    people.
