ARMENIANS MUST BE UNANIMOUS ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ISSUE
15:49 * 05.02.15
According to political figure Azat Arshakyan, Armenia is part of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR).
"Armenia is part of Artsakh. We joined Artsakh, but not Artsakh joined
us, and we are united," he told reporters on Thursday.
He slammed separation of Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh.
Gagik Ginosyan, Art Director of the Karin song and dance group, noted
that only one Armenian state exists for him, which is called Hayk,
and there must be no partition for Armenians.
"Armenia cannot be partitioned and have separate authorities," he said.
It is treason to drive a wedge between Armenians, Mr Ginosyan added.
Styopa Safaryan, Head of the Armenian Institute of International and
Security Affairs (AIISA), shares the opinion. Armenian citizens have
a right to disseminate ideas in Nagorno-Karabakh, he said.
As to the opinion that presenting Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh
as one state affects the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process because
Nagorno-Karabakh should be an independent negotiator, and the
Nagorno-Karabakh people elect their authorities by means of democratic
elections, Mr Arshakyan warned against any splits within the Armenian
people.
"Our aim is Great Hayk, and we must restore it step by step."
Safaryan said they are now heading to Tavush to introduce their own
ideas to the population.
Asked how they treat the civic group's slogan, Centennial without the
Regime, Mr Arshakyan said he finds the measure extreme regardless of
the objective.
He further stressed the need of considering the Genocide issue
beyond the scope of all political processes and in an atmosphere of
a pan-national solidarity.
