The Statement of the “New Times” Party
Statement
On October 10, 2009 the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Turkey signed clearly anti-Armenian Protocols. The signing ceremony took place after a three-hour delay and the explanations for this delay clearly show that the protocols are a result of serious pressure and they include the three preconditions set forth by Turkey in 1993, that is, the territorial integrity of Turkey and Azerbaijan, an end to the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and a resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict favoring Azerbaijan.
The protests in Armenia and the Diaspora proved that Armenians are against the anti-Armenian protocols and go to show our nation's resoluteness to confront all current and future challenges as a nation.
Reaffirming the fact that imposing the anti-national protocols on the Armenian nation is the effect of the anti-national legislative and executive administration's actions, the "New Times" party states the following:
- In the current stage, Armenians in Armenia and the Diaspora must do everything possible to not ratify these humiliating documents and put an end to the subsequent attempt of world powers to turn Armenia and all Armenians into a sacrifice
- The processes taking place in the Republic of Armenia are very similar to the logic of the destructive steps that were taken in Serbia and it is definite that this clan-oligarch regime must be removed as soon as possible. This can become a reality through the combined efforts of different layers of society and as a result of the unified struggle of political parties.
- Starting on October 10, 2009, Armenians around the world must perceive that only relying on themselves will they be able to confront the challenges to be faced. We remind all world powers that the Armenian nation has a history spanning 5,000 years, has survived in worse conditions, has experienced genocide, has continued to shape the Homeland and is now struggling for a Dignified and Fair Future.
