“AUTHORITIES SELL OUR VICTORY STEP BY STEP”

Politics

“In case a movement kicks in any country all unsuccessful people gather like flies gather smelling honey. I would like to see successful people in the Karabakh Committee, who already enjoy the love and respect of the public, like Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Babken Ararktsyan, David Vardanyan and others. I mean to say that the committee needed people with a will to go ahead”, Vazgen Manoukyan, coordinator of the committee reminded today.

It was honorable to be a member to the Karabakh Committee 19 years ago, but it was at the same time hazardous as the members could spend all their lives in jails without any knowledge that one day will come to power. No matter how animated the committee members were, they had to put aside their emotions and head the public.

“We formed secret groups, brought weapons from various places and we did our best to prevent further confrontation. Only later on the Karabakh movement enriched in ideology- democracy, freedom. The Karabakh issue was transferred to the international level,” Vazgen Manoukyan states.

Mr. Manoukyan could not recall a more brilliant example of assembling over the past 100 – 200 years. “I feel pity and blame both myself and the Karabakh Committee that we were unable to make use of public’s liveliness.”

In Mr. Manoukyan’s opinion, the current situation is resulted by faults and crimes. Summing up the duration of the Karabakh movement, the victory of the war and the policy of the acting authorities, Vazgen Manoukyan said, “The acting authorities sell our victory step by step”. He excludes the settlement of the Karabakh conflict in close future.

“Armenia must develop at a rapid speed. We must seek adherents world-wide and conduct active policy instead of usurping the power. In case we overcome these hard times, Armenia will prosper”, he said.
