/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Any attempts of political gambling or speculations
to surrender the liberated territories by no means provide a sensible
solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. On the contrary, they
represent a mortal threat not only to the future of Artsakh but also
to the integrity of the Armenian statehood," says the statement of
Armenian Internet resources entitled "Against the Surrender of the
Liberated Territories".

In particular, the document reads as follows, "Trapped in the swamp
of "constructive negotiations" Armenian politicians do nothing
but endanger the very existence of the Armenian nation and make us
involuntarily witnesses to what can be described as a modern "Munich
Agreement", which could leave us in a strategic deadlock and most
surely contribute to an unleashing of a new aggressions against both
the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Republic of Armenia.

Today, on May 28th, when Armenians all over the world proudly celebrate
the creation of the first Armenian Republic of 1918, we would also like
to remind of the disgraceful end of that very same republic in 1920.

Because of the "courtesy" of "constructive compromises" and "diplomatic
maneuvers" by then Armenian government, Kars, Igdyr, the holy Mount
Ararat and the ancient capital Ani were surrendered without firing
a single shot. And as a result tens of thousands lives had perished
in vain.

We demand and urge the current government and political leaders
call an immediate halt to any discussions or negotiations regarding
the possible surrender of the liberated regions of Artsakh. We also
insist on complete declassification of the information for the ongoing
negotiations in view of the fact that concealment of any information
vital for the future of the Armenian nation is utterly unacceptable.

Any politician or public officer, regardless of his/her previous honors
for serving the nation, who should openly declare or demonstrate a
willingness to surrender Armenian lands, will be regarded a national
traitor and a blatant enemy of the state."
