Artsakh NA calls on Armenians to prevent Armenian authorities`  disastrous steps 

ArmInfo. The National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh issued a statement in response to Armenian Premier Nikol Pashinyan's speech recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. 

The statement reads: 

"The statement made by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia,  Nikol Pashinyan, at today's press conference, in which he reaffirmed  his willingness to include Artsakh in Azerbaijan, caused great  indignation and anger in the Republic of Artsakh. In fact, with that  commitment of his, Nikol Pashinyan grossly violates the Declaration  of Independence of the Republic of Armenia and provisions of the  Constitution on Artsakh, particularly the imperative principle of the  July 8, 1992 decision of the Supreme Council of the Republic of  Armenia which reads " to consider any international or domestic  document in which the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh will be mentioned  as part of Artsakh, unacceptable for the Republic of Armenia ".

"Once again, we reaffirm that the status of Artsakh has already been  determined by the popular Declaration of December 10, 1991, and no  authority has the right to cancel it.

"For us, any statement of Nikol Pashinyan ignoring the sovereignty of  the Republic of Artsakh and the right of self-determination of our  people, and any document drawn up on its basis, is unacceptable and  worthless.  Artsakh will never give up its unwavering struggle.

"Deeply worried about the existing dangerous reality, the National  Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh calls on all Armenians not to  allow the current RA authorities to take part in the ceding of the  parts of the motherland Armenia - the Republic of Artsakh and the  sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia - to Azerbaijan as  anclavs. This will inevitably lead to the loss of the Armenian  statehood.

"At the same time, we appeal to the former and current presidents of  the RA and the Artsakh Republic, calling to condemn the statements  made by Nikol Pashinyan on May 22, 2023. Otherwise, we will consider  your silence as a sign of agreement with the Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia."
