By surrendering Artsakh, Armenia`s premier surrendering both Armenia  and Diaspora - Ara Abrahamyan 

ArmInfo.By surrendering Artsakh, Pashinyan is surrendering both Armenia and the Diaspora, degrading every Armenian, Head of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) Ara Abrahamyan stated in response to Armenian Premier Armenia Nikol Pashinyan's statement at his press conference on May 22. 

He stressed that leaving his people at the mercy of the Aliyev  regime, which has repeatedly confirmed his adherence to the genocidal  policy against the Armenians, is not only immoral, but also contrary  to the Constitution of Armenia, which, as stated in its preamble -  The Declaration of Independence of Armenia, based, among other  things, on the "Joint Decree of the Supreme Council of the Armenian  SSR and the National Council of Nagorno-Karabakh of December 1,  1989."

""Any agreement that denies the right of the people of Artsakh to  self-determination is in conflict with the Basic Law of the country,  which means it will not have legal force.

"By surrendering Artsakh, Pashinyan is surrendering both Armenia and  the Diaspora, degrades every Armenian who respects himself, his  family, his values and traditions, and is proud of the heroic history  of his people. This history was written not only by great scientists,  figures of culture, art and sports, but also by the blood of our  brave warriors who gave their lives for the freedom and independence  of Armenia and Artsakh over the past three decades," Mr Abrahamyan  said. the head of the UAR said.

At the same time, he stated that what has been happening in Armenia  since 2018, is aimed at forcing not only Russia, but also Armenians  and everything Armenian out of the region. "Where are the Armenians  today, who once made up the majority of the population of the  Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic within the Azerbaijan SSR? Where are  the graves of our ancestors? "Where are the Armenians of Sumgayit?  What security guarantees does the Prime Minister of Armenia speak  about? Whose guarantees does he believe in? Where is the so-called  'peace era', which, according to the Armenian authorities, should  have come after the signing of a tripartite document following the  44-day war?" asked Abrahamyan.

At the same time, Mr Abrahamyan expressed conviction that such  fateful decisions for the state and people cannot be made without  taking into account the will of the Armenian people.

"What is happening today is nothing more than a psychological  genocide by the authorities against their own people.

The Armenian intellectuals, business elite, public figures, including  those living in the Diaspora, should no longer be silent. Today, they  are obliged to publicly state their position and appeal to the people  in order to get them out of the protracted political lethargy. In the  name of the memory of our fathers and grandfathers.  For the sake of  the future of our children," Mr Abrahamyan said.
