No authority in Armenia has the right to renounce its national  mission to guarantee Artsakh`s security or sign a document that would  question Artsakh`s sovereignty or secure future - DPA

ArmInfo. The Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA) has issued a statement following the  resolution approved by the National Assembly of the Republic of  Artsakh on October 30. The resolution was read out for the world in  Stepanakert's Revival Square.

The statement reads, in particular: 

"We are sure that a sovereign, secure and effective course of Artsakh  and Armenia depends on common will and determination. Each of us must  realize his or her personal responsibility in the permanent task of  defending the Artsakh Armenians from genocide and deportation. 

"Each Armenian residing and working in Armenia, Artsakh or in the  Armenian Diaspora must contribute to a victory of this new milestone  of the Artsakh Armenians' struggle. 

"Artsakh's independence is in conformity with all the international  legal norms and has precedents.  Therefore, we have real guarantees  of professional actions in all international agencies."

The DPA agrees with the fundamental resolution by the Artsakh  National Assembly: no authority in Armenia has the right to renounce  its national mission to guarantee Artsakh's security or sign a  document that would question Artsakh's sovereignty or secure future. 

"The principles are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence of  the Republic of Armenia and in statutory orders. We are all ethnic  Armenians. No Armenia without Artsakh and no Artsakh without  Armenia," the DPA's statement reads. 

A mass rally took place in Artsakh, with the number attendees  estimated at 70,000. The rally was aimed to show the world that  Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan.
