ArmInfo.The "Armenia" and "I have the honor"  opposition factions of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia initiated a session of the Parliament with their  agenda. This was announced during a rally on May 25 by the  coordinator of the Resistance Movement, Deputy Speaker from the  opposition faction "Armenia" Ishkhan Saghatelyan.

He noted that their only demand is for the parliament to make a  statement on Armenia's relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey.

"If you are not afraid of Aliyev (President of Azerbaijan - ed.  note), come to the meeting and sign the statement. These are our "red  lines". These are the minimum requirements, but the Armenian  authorities do not have so much courage. We look forward to holding  this important meeting next week,"  said Saghatelyan.

Then, the ARF member read out the text of the statement, which will  be proposed by the opposition to the parliament, excluding any  changes in its content.

The statement, in particular, contains 7 points: " First, Armenia  will support the full realization of the right of the people of  Artsakh to self-determination and international recognition. Any  final version of the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as  a result of which Artsakh may become part of Azerbaijan is  unacceptable for Armenia.

Secondly, a reliable land connection between Armenia and Artsakh must  be ensured, excluding the latter's enclave position.

Thirdly, Armenia is the guarantor of the security of the people of  Artsakh and the realization of their right to self-determination.

Fourthly, the work on the delimitation and demarcation of the border  with Armenia should be carried out with the precondition of resolving  humanitarian issues, the return of Armenian prisoners of war and  detainees and the withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops from the sovereign  territory of Armenia.

Fifth, as a result of the delimitation and demarcation of the border,  violation of the territorial integrity of Armenia should be excluded.

Sixth, in the process of normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations,  Armenia excludes any agreement that would call into question the  facts of the Armenian Genocide and the deprivation of the Armenian  people of their homeland.

Seventh, the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish and  Armenian-Azerbaijani relations are not interconnected with each  other, and the unblocking of communications with Azerbaijan and  Turkey cannot be carried out according to the "corridor" logic."

Speaking about plans for May 26, Saghatelyan called on all supporters  of the Resistance Movement to come to France Square at 10:30.  According to him, the parents of the heroic servicemen turned to them  and asked them to support them in front of the building of the  Supreme Judicial Council.

Saghatelyan clarified that this is about the demand of the parents of  the soldiers killed in the 44-day war in Artsakh to bring Armenian  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to justice. "On May 26, the visit of  the President of Montenegro to Armenia is expected. And at 15:30 we  all gather at the Place de France to meet and pursue any  international delegation and show that Nikol does not have a people's  mandate to meet and negotiate with anyone. From 15 :30 to 19:30 we  are waiting for a fierce struggle. Our struggle will continue to the  end," he concluded.
