“PEACEFUL” POSITION OF ARMENIA IN KARABAKH ISSUE SHOULD NOT MISLEAD
AZERBAIJAN ABOUT OUR MILITARY ABILITIES: LEVON MKRTCHYAN
YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. “Karabakh is the strategic issue for ARF
Dashnaktsutyun, concerned not only with Armenia’s future but also with
all the Armenian people”, stated Head of ARFD faction Levon Lazarian
during today’s hearings on Karabakh issue.
In his words, the independence of Karabakh is the fight for both the
independence and the existence of Armenia. “Karabakh is the
compensation of rights of the people subjected to Genocide and lost
the whole Western Armenia and a part of Eastern”, Lazarian stated.
He stressed the necessity of larger covering and acquaintance of
international structures engaged in Karabakh issue with reasons of
conflict’s rise in 1988-1992.
He also stressed the role of parliamentarian groups of friendship in
distribution of information about conflict’s genesis. At the same
time, Mkrtchayn expressed confidence that the Karabakh issue will be
solved amicably, which is possible only if public consciousness in
Armenia and Azerbaijan is directed to the adoption of compromises.
“However, adherence of Armenian party to the peaceful solution of this
problem should not mislead Azerbaijan about Armenia’s military
abilities. Our peaceful position is based on our rightfulness and
fairness, but not on military weakness”, Lazarian noted. -r-
