E. Sharmazanov: world is committed of exercising people's right to
self-determination
`President Sargsyan's speech in the 66th session of the UN General
Assembly was a speech of a democratic country's leader. That was a
speech of a national statesman, a regional leader who plans to
establish stability in the region. President has stressed that
freedom, peace and democracy are our choice, and that we a recommitted
to this path. Democracy in Armenia has no alternative,' said Edward
Sharmazanov, Member of Parliament, spokesman for Republican Party, to
Panorama.am.
`President has highlighted that the world is committed of exercising
people's right to self-determination. Congratulating the Republic of
South Sudan, President has been holding parallels with Artsakh issue
and its people's right to self-determination.'
The MP said President Sargsyan has clearly stated which party should
be blamed for not materializing advancement in the negotiations of NK
conflict.
`President said that Azerbaijan's utter unwillingness to reach
agreement. Baku has turned armenophobia into state propaganda,' said
the MP.
Referring to Armenia-Turkey relations, the MP said, President has
introduced a comprehensive picture of the situation.
`The key issues of President's speech were - Turkey should ratify the
protocols, and open the border with Armenia; Karabakh must get its
right to self-determination, like South Sudan did; belligerent
rhetoric and war threats uttered by Azerbaijan must be condemned and
the international community should make adequate remarks; Turkey
should be blamed for tensed regional situation denying to implement
its international responsibilities - denying to recognize Armenian
Genocide. Armenia is committed to freedom and democracy and these
paths have no alternatives in our country,' said E. Sharmazanov.
