HERITAGE’S FRONTLINE:
A RESOLUTION FOR ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE
1. The Patrimony is one and indivisible.
2. The sovereign Nation-State declared in one corner of the ancestral
homeland recognizes republican Turkey and its integrity subject to
Woodrow Wilson’s arbitral award as issued under U.S. presidential seal
in November 1920. A full and final regulation of all bilateral matters
deriving therefrom is a material precondition to an equitable and
enduring resolution in the case of Artsakh and Armenian-Azerbaijani
relations in general. There is no statute on limitations on the crime
of Genocide and National Dispossession, however or whenever it has
been committed and internationally defined.
3. The nation-state recognizes both the Republic of Mountainous
Karabagh, as constitutionally constituted, and republican Azerbaijan
and its integrity subject to its own recognition of the Artsakh
republic as well as release from occupation of the historic heartlands
of Shahumian, Getashen-Martunashen, Artsvashen, and Nakhichevan. No
other territorial adjustment shall be considered or executed until the
foregoing takes complete effect.
4. The nation-state recognizes republican Georgia as an important
neighboring country which, in its own turn, acknowledges that Javakhk
is part and parcel of the Patrimony and of their common security. The
character of their reciprocal relationship, moreover, will turn on the
efficacy of measures undertaken to demonstrate this understanding as
well as to ensure fundamental freedoms for the Georgian-Armenian
community and its institutions.
5. The nation-state respects the partnership of Iran, Russia, China,
the European Union and the United States, and expects their respect
for its absolute sovereignty and the rightful integrity of its
heritage.
6. The nation-state, at Ararat and in dispersion, further recognizes
that the bedrock of the points above and below is its own immediate
and comprehensive transformation into a modern, democratic, and
self-confident Republic where the law rules, rights are revered,
political prisoners are precluded, and the citizen is crown. Justice
in the world entails justice at home.
7. In direct consequence and for the sake of generations to come, the
nation-state notes with gratitude the services rendered by all of its
presidents, civil and military officials, and rank-and-file patriots,
and at once requires each of them to stand equally before the rule of
law. The territories, properties, enterprises, opportunities, and
human lives heretofore privatized, expropriated, or sacrificed by
their abuse of power must be accounted for to the fullest extent of
the very same law.
8. For the first time in their long history, Armenia and its people
must urgently conduct true elections for their presidency, legislature
and, by extension, a really independent judiciary. Failing this, there
is no national agenda, nor a manifest destiny, and so our birthright
has already been squandered for good.
9. The nation-state, its every citizen, and no one else are
responsible, without excuse or exception, for the burdens and
blessings of their collective future.
