ARF Armenian Cause Office proclaimed 2011 a year of support to the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic
PARIS, MARCH 12, ARMENPRESS: Paris office of the ARF Armenian Cause
has proclaimed 2011 a year of support to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of independence of Artsakh.
Director of the office Hrach Varzhapetyan told Armenpress that a
number of events will be organized within its framework, the main of
which will be held May 15.
`A big gathering dedicated to the support of the NKR national army
will be held in Paris, in which Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan will
participate in all appearances,' Mr. Varzhahpetyan noted, adding that
the core significance of the gathering is that such a courageous theme
has been chosen for the first time. `This is very important, that
Artsakh relies on the own strength, army and the support to the letter
is very valuable,' Mr. Varzhapetyan stressed.
According to him, within the framework of the year - in April, a round
table-discussion is intended to conduct. `The discussion, in which
both Armenian and French public and political figures participate, has
a goal to reveal the means by which we can reach the international
recognition of the independence of the NKR,' the director of the
office noted.
Mr. Varzhapetyan said that the Armenian community of France actively
follows the negotiation process of the NK conflict solution,
especially that France is a co-chairing country of the OSCE Minsk
group. According to him, the latter displays quite serious and
watchful policy toward the conflict. In Mr. Varzhapetyan's opinion, a
distinct progress will be registered in the negotiation process by the
time when the main party - Artsakh, will be invited at the table of
negotiations.
`The day when the Artsakh leadership has its representative in the
negotiation process, a serious progress will start in the sense of
improvement and solution of the issue. And sooner the international
community accepts Artsakh as a negotiating party, the larger the
opportunity of providing a solution will be,' Mr. Varzhapetyan said.
As for the war rhetoric frequently voiced by Azerbaijan, the director
of the office noted that they are for the inner threat and are typical
only to a losing party. `And if there is a serious speech about war,
Artsakh will win, for it has its army. And the Armenian armed forces
are ready to worthily defend their border,' Mr. Varzhapetyan said,
adding that big states distinctly note that the issue must be solved
within the framework of the OSCE, and the efforts of Azerbaijan to
move it to other instances are in vain and are a waste of time.
