ArmInfo.The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau has issued a statement strongly condemning Armenian Premier Nikol Pashinyan's recent statements and  agreements based on them reached as a result of negotiation on the  sidelines of the European Political Community Summit in Prague. 

Armenia's premier and the ruling regime are not serving Armenia's  interests and are not legally mandated to sign any documents in  behalf of Armenia and Armenians, which could put into question  Armenia's sovereignty and the Armenian people's interests. 

No delimitation or demarcation process is acceptable in defiance of  international legal norms, particularly with use of force or threat  of force as well as with Azerbaijan's overt aggression and invasion  of Armenia's sovereign territories. Artsakh declared its sovereignty  in conformity with international and internal legal norms, and it is  not to be bargained over. 

According to the source, Armenia can by no means abdicate its role as  guarantor of the Artsakh people's security and self-determination.  Otherwise, it would result in de-Armenianization of Artsakh and  expatriation of Armenians. The ARF hopes that the OSCE Minsk Groups  co-chairs will honor their commitments to settle the Artsakh problem  on the basis of the declared principles. 

The ARF is calling on the Armenian people not to succumb to the  authorities-disseminated defeatist sentiments, unite around national  forces and ensure a breakthrough in the situation. It implies radical  changes in three main directions: an all-Armenian campaign of  restoring the Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora unity, solving urgent defense  and security problems, external assistance to rule out vitally  important concessions. And these priority tasks can only be  accomplished by a new government of national agreement which would  enjoy popular confidence. 

"We are determined and have a clear idea of what we should do. And we  are calling for joint struggle," the statement reads.
