Politics

“This is a political movement the aim of which is to clear the country of garbage”, announced commander of group “Artsakh” Miqael Apresyan in club “Pastark”. He also informed those present about the formation of the “Armenian Volunteers Movement”. The authors of the initiative are commanders who participated in the Karabakh war – Arkadi Karapetyan, Manvel Eghiazaryan, Voskan Gyulumyan and others, who are concerned about the fate of the country and especially about the settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

«They are speaking about giving territories. They have forgotten that we have given 12 thousand lives in order to liberate those lands. During the war we never spoke about liberating them in order to give them to Azeris later. How shall we look into the eyes of those 12 thousand soldiers? The Independence day belongs to those who are not with us today», commander of group “Artsakh” did not even try to suppress his anger.

The commanders were also angry with the speeches delivered during the third conference «Armenia-Diaspora» which do not correspond to reality. «Look at their plump faces talking about the reduction of poverty! The Prime Minister announces that the poorest regions are the villages. How come the peasants working from morning till night and they are still the poorest? »

According to Mr. Apresyan, part of the liberated lands is not populated because of the indifference of the authorities, «They speak about giving lands so often that the population of Qelbajar thinks about leaving those territories. The same situation is present is Lachin». He is convinced that if conditions are created, Armenians who came to Armenia from Lebanon and Syria will be glad to go and live there.

The members of the movement were concerned about the fate of the Armenians in Lebanon. «There are 120 thousand Armenians in Lebanon. The realization of a peace-keeping mission in Lebanon is extremely urgent. Turkey has already sent 100 thousand soldiers to Lebanon who will be allocated in the Armenian districts. This means we are facing a new danger», Miqael Apresyan said.

By the way, the members of the “Armenian Volunteers Movement” announced that they will not participate in the coming elections. They have not decided whom they will support either.
