Yerevan (Yerkir) - Nagorno-Karabakh Republic's Foreign Security and
Policy Council (FSPC) has called on the Armenian Diaspora to initiate
the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
In its message addressed to the three traditional Armenian Parties
and lobby groups of the Armenian Diaspora particularly says: "In
April 2009, the Armenian-Turkish dialogue became public, we faced new
challenges. The Armenian-Turkish talks, and the signing of the two
protocols caused heated debate throughout the Armenian world. Turkey
continues its attempts to link the ratification of the protocols
by the Turkish Parliament to Armenians' territorial concessions to
Azerbaijan, which has caused additional tension in the Caucasus.
"The Western society, supported by the Armenian Diasporan
organizations, has intensified the process of international recognition
of the Armenian Genocide as a means of pressuring the Turkish leaders,
who refuse to honor their commitments in the Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation process.
"In response to the pressure, the representatives of the Turkish
political Establishment warned about a threat to regional stability.
Considering the militaristic plans of Azerbaijan, Turkey's closest
ally, we can hardly have any doubts about where the stability might
be undermined. This being so, the problem of consolidating the NKR's
security has become even more topical for a new genocide, in Eastern
Armenia, to be prevented.
"The NKR Foreign Security and Policy Council believes that in their
activities the Armenian Diasporan organizations have give the issue
of international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh as high a
priority as to such an important national problem as the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide."
FSPC Chairman Masis Mailyan stated that the recent precedents in the
Balkans and in the Caucasus prove recognition to be a real mechanism
of consolidating security and maintaining stability in conflict zones,
which does not require huge funds.
The ESPC member, member of the NKR Parliament Gegham Baghdasaryan
pointed out that the Armenian Diaspora gained a wide experience
after decades of work aimed at the international recognition of the
Armenian Genocide. It is now time to make use of this experience for
the consolidation of victories in Artsakh within international law.
According to the ESPC, the recognition of Artsakh even by regional
or local government bodies in individual countries will fill the
NKR Armenians with enthusiasm and prove to be a serious moral and
institutional support for them.
