“It seems as if our country is embroiled in adventure”: A. Akhoyan on the bill of Z. Postanjyan (video)
Raffi Hovhannisyan has great expectations to return Western Armenia, “There is such hope after April 25.” “Heritage” faction member Zaruhi Postanjyan has prepared a bill, by which Armenia must legally demand its lands from Turkey, “Yes, we are demanding, we haven’t forgotten and we pursue the return of our Homeland.” Mrs. Postanjyan legally fixes, that the state border between Armenia and Turkey isn’t legal, those borders are the result of the treaties of Moscow and Kars, “We will call it into question and it needs to be reviewed.” Human Rights Defender Karen Andreasyan also has claims from Turkey, “It is the issue of dignity and property of all the citizens of the Republic of Armenia and people living in Armenia, which was grossly violated by Turkey through the denial of legal and moral recognition of the Armenian Genocide.” Karen Andreasyan thinks that our international partners must also think about it. The Human Rights Defender himself aspires to the lands of Western Armenia, “Yes, if there is an issue of restoration of rights also in the form of lands in the claims, it can also be discussed.” Because of his position Karen Andreasyan cannot say whether Zaruhi Postanjyan’s bill isn’t a bill embroiling Turkey in a war with Armenia, “If I were a deputy, I would think whether to vote or not.” Lawmaker Aragats Akhoyan has already thought, it seems as if our country is embroiled in adventure, “There is a little utopia in it.” So the bill is unrealistic but praiseworthy for a representative of the National Congress of Western Armenians Aragats Akhoyan.
