EDWARD NALBANDYAN RECEIVED A WARNING

Politics


“The one who cedes our territories is a traitor!” shouted members of the the Miatsum (Unification) Initiative who staged a protest action in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia today morning. They handed over a note of reminder to Armenian FM Edward Nalbandyan on political and legal consequences of territorial concessions.


Minister Edward Nalbandyan refused to receive the protesters today. Minutes later the group of about 100 people was chained by policemen.


“Once again the acting regime showed its intention to surrender the territories to Azerbaijan. But we shall not allow them to carry out their plans. If today we stand still in front of our policemen it doesn’t mean that tomorrow we shall sit idle. Our soil is sacred and we shall struggle for it to the end,” said the commander of a Shushi special battalion Jirayr Sefilyan.


Strangely though it may seem the police demanded the protesters to disperse chaining their way.

“As the Police intervene with our protest action and violate our right to move, we shall raise the issue in relevant bodies and from the NA rostrum. We become more and more convinced that the authorities are going to surrender the liberated territories otherwise they wouldn’t ban our initiatives,” said member of the Miatsum, Armenian MP Zaruhy Postanjyan.

Since the entire territory liberated during the war of Artsakh is set down in the NKR Constitution as a component part of the territorial integrity of NKR, Miatsum warns Minister Edward Nalbandyan that the surrender of liberated territories is a grave crime against the state, and an intolerable encroachment upon the life of Armenian citizens.

The Miatsum urges the authorities to stop the negotiation policy of meeting demands of anti-national territorial concessions and to take abrupt action to resettle the liberated territories, as well as to restore the sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia over the entire constitutional territory of NKR vested in the Republic of Armenia by the international law.
